“The entire country is still experiencing price increases related to the European Union’s proposal to completely ban use of Russian petroleum products, but both oil prices and futures prices have cooled down in the last couple of days, so hopefully that will soon be reflected in prices at the pump,” Marie Montgomery, a public relations specialist with the Automobile Club of Southern California, told City News Service.
