The war has affected gas prices in the U.S.

The motoring club AAA says pump prices increased by another nickel overnight.

The average cost for a gallon of regular gas in the U.S.

is $3.58.

That's up about 60 cents since the war began less than two weeks ago.

Diesel prices have climbed more than a dollar over what they were a month ago.

That's important because if diesel prices stay high, they'll drive up transportation costs for everything that goes by truck or train.

There's a lot of attention on the International Energy Agency.

It could recommend as soon as today that nations start releasing crude oil from their strategic oil reserves.

This could be temporarily used to supply countries that need oil from the Persian Gulf.

Two candidates will go to a runoff vote in a Georgia special election.

Seventeen candidates competed yesterday to fill the term of former Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, who resigned in January.

But no candidate got 50 percent of the vote to win the Georgia seat outright.

The top vote-getter was Democrat Sean Harris.

But right behind him is Republican Clay Fuller.

He has been endorsed by President Trump.

The runoff election is set in four weeks on April 7th.

Weather forecasters say this winter has been the warmest ever in several western states.
