PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Gas prices are spiking across the U.S. amid ongoing sanctions against Russia after the country invaded Ukraine in late February — and prices at the pump in Oregon are among those soaring.
In fact, Wednesday’s national average is $4.25/gallon compared to Oregon’s $4.66/gallon, according to AAA.
This is why it’s not that surprising that most of the cheapest gas in the Portland metro area happens to be in Vancouver, Washington, according to GasBuddy. However, the cheapest gas near Portland happens to be outside of it in Clackamas County’s Eagle Creek.
