Gas Prices Soar Amid Middle East Tensions | Baltimore News

Baltimore drivers are bracing for higher gas prices after a 17-cent spike, pushing the average to $3.86 a gallon — up from nearly 20 cents cheaper just last month. Nationwide, prices are rising for the first time in months, up 71 cents from a year ago. Analysts link the surge to escalating U.S.-Iran tensions in the Middle East, which triggered a 4% jump in oil prices — a warning sign that gas costs could climb even higher soon.
