Oklahoma Gas Prices Surge Ahead of Spring Break
New data shows Oklahoma gas prices surge as travelers get ready for spring break across the state.
According to AAA, the average price for a gallon of regular gasoline in Oklahoma is now about $3.05 per gallon.
That is a sharp jump from roughly $2.35 per gallon a month ago, creating higher costs for drivers heading into a busy travel period.
Oklahoma Gas Prices Surge as Oil Prices Climb
Analysts say the Oklahoma gas prices surge is being driven by rising crude oil prices and global market instability.
Energy markets have been reacting to tensions involving the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route for oil.
Higher crude prices have pushed gasoline prices upward, and reporting from The Journal Record says seasonal demand and the shift to summer-blend fuel could add more pressure.
Oklahoma Still Among Lowest in Nation
Even with the increase, AAA says Oklahoma still ranks among the states with the lowest gas prices in the country.
Analysts with News On 6 report prices could continue climbing through the summer travel season, meaning drivers may want to budget for more pain at the pump in the weeks ahead.
