As gas prices continue to rise, the average cost of regular has broken the $6 mark in San Francisco, casing drivers to rethink their budgets.
Before heading home, dog walker Andrew Demary has to fill up the 20-gallon tank on his Toyota Tacoma pickup.
Patrick DeHaan with Gas Buddy says this latest spike is due to impending European Union sanctions on Russia. The EU currently gets 4.5 million barrels of oil a day from Russia, but sanctions over the Russian War in Ukraine would force Europe to look elsewhere for oil. While we may be used to gas prices spiking and dipping, the cost per gallon will get worse and stick around.
For Demary, it means he needs more clients to make up the difference. He wants to make the change to electric, but those are out of stock.
