Oil prices continued their upward spiral Wednesday, as Israel and Iran threatened more attacks on petroleum facilities, jolting markets and sending the cost of a barrel of crude to nearly $110.
The price spike threatens more pain at the pump for American drivers. A gallon of regular unleaded gas already averages $3.84 nationally, according to AAA — an increase of 32 percent from just a month ago, before President Donald Trump launched strikes on Iran alongside Israel.
