Gas and oil prices

New York Times  Many states across the American South and Southwest, which enjoyed some of the lowest gas prices before the outbreak of war, have seen the steepest increases, according to a New York Times analysis of data from GasBuddy. As of March 14, gas prices had shot up by about a third in Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Texas since the start of the war. In Colorado, prices were up 35 percent. In New Mexico, which has been hit the hardest, they had gone up just shy of 40 percent.
