"A spokesperson told News 12 that prices are going up because of the price of crude oil - not due to a supply chain issue. According to AAA, New Yorkers were paying the lowest price for gas in four or five years. On Monday, it was an average of about $3 a gallon in the city, which was up four cents from last week."
"Alfred Ganno, a truck driver, told News 12 that his company was having him fill up about 20 trucks as a precaution. He says he also worried about paying more from his own pocket. 'I don't know what's going on,' said Ganno. 'I feel a little [scared] right now, maybe for the rent, maybe for the food, for the family, yes.'"
"A AAA spokesperson told News 12 that there is no need to panic buy and have long lines at the pump."
Following an attack in Iran, gasoline prices in New York City have increased due to rising crude oil costs rather than supply chain disruptions. New Yorkers were previously enjoying the lowest gas prices in four to five years at around $3 per gallon on Monday, representing a four-cent increase from the prior week. Truck drivers and consumers express concern about the price increases and their financial impact on household expenses. AAA officials advise against panic buying and forming long lines at gas pumps, emphasizing that the situation does not warrant such reactions.
