Gas prices rose by an average of 15.8 cents a gallon on Friday across the U.S. and were up another 8 cents on Saturday - as the cost at the pump increased 33 cents over the last week. It was the second highest spike in gasoline prices ever recorded and beaten only by the 18.1-cent spike when Hurricane Katrina tore through Gulf in August 2005.This time, Russia's war in Ukraine is having a dramatic impact on the cost of crude oil which sits at $114 a barrel. This, coupled with rising inflation at home of 7.5 percent, are the main culprits why drivers are spending more than $100 to fill up on full tank of regular unleaded gas in nearly a third of the country.
