National average gas prices continue to climb as the global oil market responds to Russias war against Ukraine.<\/p>\n
Stacker compiled statistics on gas prices in Las Vegas (NV only) metro area using data from AAA. Gas prices are as of March 10.<\/p>\n
The average price per gallon rose 8 cents on Wednesday, March 9, to a new record of $4.25, according to AAA. Records are being set daily: Tuesdays $4.17 per-gallon average broke a longstanding record of $4.114 per gallon from 2008.<\/p>\n
Sanctions levied by the U.S. and the European Union have hindered Russia's ability to sell crude oil, which is a major determinant of gas prices. While just 3% of America's crude oil consumption comes from Russia, global volatility is contributing to rising prices in markets around the world.<\/p>\n
