How the war in Ukraine is fueling sky-high gas prices - a podcast by Marketplace

The average price for a gallon of gas in the United States is now more than $4. A lot of that price jump has to do with the surging cost of crude oil. With the U.S. and its allies discussing sanctions on Russian energy, we take a look at what it would mean to restrict one of the “last economic lifelines” for Russia’s economy and why the U.S. imports so much oil in the first place. Plus, the toll of war on Ukrainian students and a visit to San Francisco’s “Little Russia.”
