Motorists have seen the national average price of gasoline rising for four straight weeks, which isn’t uncommon for this time of year.

What is uncommon is the number of attacks on Russian oil refiners; attacks which could have ripple effects worldwide if they continue, according to Patrick De Haan.

The head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy said Russia could see more capacity impacted by the attacks, forcing it to buy such products on the global market, pushing prices up everywhere.

“With oil prices now under more pressure and attacks potentially increasing on Russian refiners, we could be in for a few more weeks of rising prices,” he said. “Significant as well is the fact that Americans are now seeing inflation again at the pump with prices higher than they were a year ago.”

Average gasoline prices in Texas have risen 10.8 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.14/g today, according to GasBuddy’s survey of 13,114 stations in Texas.

Prices in Texas are 35.2 cents per gallon higher than a month ago and stand 7 cents per gallon higher than a year ago.
