## Resource

Gas prices are surging to $3.88 a gallon — up 41.9 cents from last month and $1.14 from this time last year — fueled by global tensions, Red Sea conflicts, and a Saudi pipeline shutdown. Prices vary wildly by location, from $3.54 to $4.65 in Baton Rouge alone. Experts warn drivers to brace for continued volatility as geopolitical unrest keeps prices climbing.
