How the Russia-Ukraine conflict could impact gas prices here in western Pennsylvania

PITTSBURGH — Russia is the world’s third largest oil and gas supplier. With the country on the verge of, or having already, invaded Ukraine, the fear is what will happen with the supply in the U.S.

Jim Garrity with Pittsburgh AAA said we could see prices we’ve never seen before.

“Knowing that the national average could very easily be at $4.00 a gallon and Pennsylvania’s average tends to trend 15 to 20% more expensive, we could potentially see prices that we’ve never seen in Pennsylvania,” he said.
