"It just went up another $.40 maybe $.60. I'm wishing I would've filled up this car when the war started and my other car too. It's frustrating for sure. I feel like we spend so much money on gas as it is you know."
"It's very hard to predict because we don't know how long the war is going to go. It's the war that's driving these high oil prices."
"Everything goes up, supplies, gas, deliveries, so it's really hard for our business."
Gas prices in the Bay Area have surged dramatically, with regular unleaded exceeding $6 per gallon and diesel approaching $7 at some stations. The spike is attributed to escalating U.S. involvement in the Iran conflict, which has driven crude oil prices above $100 per barrel and disrupted global oil production and shipping. California already experiences some of the highest gas prices nationally, and experts warn prices could climb further. Energy analysts note the duration of price increases depends on how long the conflict continues. Local businesses and drivers report significant financial strain, with some considering alternative fuel vehicles. The average price for regular gas stands at $5.20, while premium reaches $5.60.
