Prices at the pump continue to soar as the conflict in Ukraine continues
EL PASO, Texas - Drivers are paying an average of $3.38 a gallon for regular unleaded fuel in Texas according to the latest report.
The AAA Texas Weekend Gas Watch show rose 17-cents from a week ago.
El Paso drivers are seeing prices at the pump averaging $3.58, while drivers in Amarillo are paying the least at $3.24.
However, ABC-7 noticed today many gas stations locally raised their price for a gallon of gas by 30 cents.
Experts say the spiking gas prices are similar to what we see after a major hurricane. The volatility in the fuel market in the recent weeks is due to the war between Russia and Ukraine according to AAA.
Uncertainty over Russia's large crude oil supplies getting to the world market due to the conflict has caused the spike to over $100 a barrel which means gas prices will continue to soar as drivers prepare for the spring travel season.
"Oil prices have skyrocketed to 11-year highs," said AAA Texas spokesperson Daniel Armbruster.
You can always find the lowest gas prices in El Paso and Las Cruces on this section of our website.
Time for strict price controls.
Cap diesel at $.50/gal. And regular at .$75/gal. Force oil companies to start producing at pre-pandemic levels.
Impeach senile Joe for causing the high prices. It was high before the Ukraine war. It’s all his fault.
Idiot.
Nitwit!
Hugo Chavez, is that you?
Why do you care about gas prices? You don’t own a car and you ride Sun Metro to & from to your section 8 apartment.
Uvacowboy and his comrades only comeback is Section 8. Lol. Petulant children.
How’s that Tesla you don’t own doing Alberto?
And don’t forget, he was also in Oslo and Germany last week, at least in his own mind.
Gasoline was a lot cheaper under Trump.
Yeah like Trump had anything to do with it. You’re a complete moron.
Saying gasoline was a lot cheaper under Trump is a factual statement moron.
Gas was a lot cheaper under Woodrow Wilson.
Bnmp. Listen moron. The country was paralyzed because of pandemic. Catch up in supply and demand. Don’t think they covered that in 7th grade you high school drop out level thinker.
The pandemic caused the high gas prices? You’re an idiot. There was less demand for gasoline during the first year of the pandemic since nobody went anywhere. Less demand equals less supply meaning lower prices nitwit. You should consider getting a high school and college education.
Thanx Biden and damn Marxists!
There are no Marxists in our government. First look up the word ‘marxist’ then get some books on civics and government and read them.
You forgot about AOC and the Squad nitwit. They are self proclaimed Marxists. But you’re just a stupid Communist.
Inflation is it’s highest in 40 years. Thanks Biden. You make President Carter look great.
Has nothing to do with Biden. The entire world is undergoing inflation due to pandemic related supply issues.
You hillbillies need to get an education somewhere.
The pandemic? Do you believe everything CNN broadcasts? After over 2 years, do you still wear a mask when you sell candy at the international bridge in Juarez?
alberto’s personalities just can’t stop diarrhea of the mouth.
Inflation hurts the lazy and those maggots on fixed income living off fake injuries! Like uvacowboy.
I’m sorry, did the coward of the county “fake charlie” speak?
He doesn’t speak he psycho rants. At all hours of the a.m. He is a 24/7 troll.
Work kne more hour per day. Problem solved. Only lazy people complain.
But you don’t work and super lazy Alberto. The whole country is complaining about the high gasoline prices nitwit.
My lawn mower doesn’t even use gasoline. Neither does my Tesla. Haven’t bought any for three months.
Delusional? You don’t own a Tesla or a lawnmower. If you haven’t bought any gas for 3 months then why do you want gasoline at .50 cents per gallon? You’re an idiot. Pathological liar.
I doubt the girly-man even knows what a Tesla looks like.
The truth is he can’t afford one.
I’ve been by his apartment and seen the beater parked in his slot.
Notice no EV charging stations either.
You can thank Joe Biden for that.
We were energy independent before that loser biden. We need to open the Keystone pipeline and renew drilling on federal land.
We are still a net exporter of oil and natural gas. Keystone will never happen. It had nothing to do with current gas prices. There will never be anymore drilling on federal land. The fossil fuel era is at an end.
Keystone and drilling on federal land will all be back after this November election. Especially after Trump wins the 2024 election. Never say never nitwit.
Trump will be in prison by then. He was a traitor and criminal who tried to overthrow our government. He failed at that and failed as president. Everything he touches is a failure. You know that as well as I do along with 81 million voters
Yeah right. You are so delusional. How’s that 6 – 3 conservative SCOTUS treating you leftist nitwits.
Everyone except nitwit Albert and his stupid aliases know the high gasoline prices is senile Joe’s fault.
You’re a moron.
It’s NO SHOW Char Lie Dumbo. You’re an imbecile.
Girly man fake charlie is merely an oxygen thief.
Also a pathological liar.
Tesla stock climbing. Now at $846 per share.😁
But you don’t have any Tesla stock nitwit. You’re too poor and stupid to invest in any market.
No I don’t have any Tesla stock. I wish I had bought it when it was cheap.
You don’t have a Tesla EV either nitwit. You are too poor.
They will let prices go up so far that you have no choice but to buy electric. By then though everyone will be broke and unable to afford electric. They will stay rich and you will have less means. Get liberal sheep to praise you for enslaving people while accusing dissenters of crimes. Its almost comical
Who is “they” moron?
Idiots like you nitwit.
In.st.itu.te price controls. Do it now. Make regular $.75 per gallon.
How’s that Tesla you don’t own treating you nitwit? If you have an EV then why do you want gasoline to be $.75 per gallon. Your buddy senile Joe is letting gasoline prices up so moronic people so people like you will buy EVs that they can’t afford.
The Democrats will be panicking badly if gasoline hits $5.00 per gallon by this November.
I got a roll of those stickers of biden pointing saying, “I did that”. I put them on gas pumps when I fill up.
Too funny. I first saw those at a Chevron station on the Eastside. They are on pumps all over the country now. The best anti senile Joe movement.
