Gas Prices Surge Amid Global Supply Crunch | Augusta Georgia News

Gas prices in South Carolina jumped nearly five cents last week, now higher than a year ago despite being cheaper than last month—while nationwide averages climb past four dollars per gallon. The surge stems from disrupted Russian refinery output due to Ukraine’s attacks, tightening global fuel supply and pushing prices toward record highs, especially as diesel nears an all-time high. With refineries still offline and supply chains strained, expect pump prices to keep climbing—possibly breaking 2012 records by Labor Day.
