Iran-US Tensions: Gas Prices in Tampa at Risk

0:00From Tampa Bay, this is your March 2nd update. With tensions rising between the United States and Iran, experts are keeping a close eye on what it means for gas prices here at home. The straight of Hormuz serves as a vital shipping lane out of the Persian Gulf, and any slowdown there could send ripples through global oil supplies. Much like what happened when Russian invaded Ukraine a few years back, drivers in Tampa are already voicing concerns about their wallets. Only worry that the conflict will push pump prices higher since trouble overseas often leads to changes at the station. For now, it's too soon to predict the full impact, but analysts say the market will be watched closely in the days ahead. The key advice from the experts is simple, stay calm and don't panic, buy fuel just yet. DNN is sponsored by our partner. It looks like a pillow.
