U.S. drivers are making the highest payments in history for gasoline as the war in Ukraine threatens the global oil supply.
According to the data published by AAA on its website, the price of gasoline per gallon in the country reached its highest level since 2000 at $4,173. Government data shows that prices have not risen this much before.
In California, the most expensive region for drivers, prices rose to $5,444 per gallon. Prices are not expected to drop in the near term.
