War in Iran cuts tanker traffic through Strait of Hormuz, sending gas prices surging

Описание: Filling up is taking a bigger chunk of your paycheck in our area.

The rising prices are being blamed on the war in Iran shutting down the flow of oil in tankers through the Strait of Hormuz.

20 % of the world’s oil supply usually travels that route.

AAA says the current average price for a gallon of gas in Washington state is $4.60 a gallon. The most expensive gas in our state is currently in Wahkiakum County at a staggering $4.99 a gallon.
