Why gas prices are surging | FOX 10 Phoenix

FOX 10 Talks anchor Anita Roman and reporter Danielle Miller speak to AAA about rising gas prices locally and nationwide. 

The U.S. war in Iran triggers massive spike in Phoenix-area gas prices.

Phoenix gas prices have surged by an average of 56 cents per gallon in just one week, with local averages hitting $4.10 as of March 8.
The price hike follows “Operation Epic Fury,” a massive U.S.-Israeli military strike on Iran that killed the country’s Supreme Leader and thousands of others.
While regional prices vary from $3.53 to $4.19 per gallon, there is currently no clear end in sight for the conflict or the resulting upward trend in fuel costs.
