AMERICANS REALLY FEELING THE EFFECTS OF THE WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST AT THE GAS PUMP, A BARREL OF OIL NOW COSTS OVER $100. THAT IS TRANSLATING TO A SPIKE IN GASOLINE PRICES. TRIPLE A SAYS JUST OVER A WEEK AGO, THE AVERAGE IN PITTSBURGH WAS 324 A GALLON. NOW THAT IS UP TO 3.75, AN INCREASE OF $0.51. THAT MEANS YOU’RE PAYING ABOUT $10 MORE FOR EVERY 20 GALLONS OF GAS. AND THAT CAN GO EVEN HIGHER IF YOUR VEHICLE RUNS ON PREMIUM FUEL OR EVEN DIESEL. PITTSBURGH’S ACTION NEWS FOUR REPORTER MARCIE CIPRIANI HAS BEEN WORKING ON THIS STORY TODAY. SHE’S LIVE WITH US NOW. MARCY, ARE YOU SEEING ANY DEALS FOR GASOLINE OUT THERE? YEAH, SHANNON, YOU CAN CERTAINLY GET SOME DEALS. OF COURSE, IF YOU BELONG TO ANY OF THOSE WAREHOUSE CLUBS OR YOU BELONG TO A PERK PROGRAM. BUT IF YOU DON’T, THIS IS THE AVERAGE OF WHAT YOU WILL SEE HERE IN OUR AREA. THIS IS THE SHEETZ ALONG AND WILKINS TOWNSHIP. IT’S 379 A GALLON. SO AS WE DROVE AROUND, THOUGH, WE DID SEE A WIDE RANGE OF PRICES AT STANDARD STATIONS PRICED FROM 335 A GALLON TO 389, DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU ARE. SO MORE THAN $0.50 PER GALLON GAP. AND WE FOUND SOME DRIVERS ACTUALLY WAITING IN LINE FOR THAT GOOD DEAL. AND JUST ABOUT EVERYONE BRACING FOR WHAT’S NEXT. IT’S NOT HARD TO PREDICT. I FEEL LIKE IT’S GOING TO GO UP. I DON’T I DON’T DOUBT IT. BE AT $4 PRETTY SOON CHEAPER HERE THAN ANYWHERE ELSE. OH MY GOD, IT JUST SEEMS LIKE EVERY MOMENT THEY’RE CLIMBING UP, SHE SAID. MARCY, YOU MENTIONED A LARGE PRICE RANGE UP TO $0.50 PER GALLON. DO YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON WHY THAT GAP IS SO BIG? YEAH, ACTUALLY, I SPOKE WITH ONE OF THE STATION OWNERS AND A MANAGER AT A STATION WHOSE PRICES WERE A LITTLE BIT LOWER THAN THIS 3.79 THEY TELL ME, BECAUSE THE GAS THAT THEY’RE SELLING RIGHT NOW, THEY PURCHASED AT THAT LOWER PRICE. SO ONCE THE GAS IS REFILLED AT THE HIGHER NUMBER, THEY SAY THEY WILL HAVE TO THEN RAISE THEIR RATES. BUT FOR NOW THEY’RE KEEPING THEIR PRICES JUST A LITTLE BIT LOWER. NOW NEW AT 5:00 WE WILL SHOW YOU WHERE THE LOWEST PRICES ARE. WE FOUND HERE IN OUR AREA COVERING ALLEGHENY COUNTY FROM WILKINS TOWNSHIP, MARCIE CIPRIANI PITTSBURGH’S ACTION NEWS FOUR IMPORTANT INFORMATION. MARCY, THANKS. SO TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE PERSPECTIVE ON THIS, TRIPLE A SAYS THE ALL TIME HIGH PRICE FOR A GALLON OF REGULAR GASOLINE IN PITTSBURGH WAS $5.05. THAT HAPPENED BACK IN JUNE OF 2022. AND RIGHT NOW ON WTAE.COM, OUR DATA TEAM HAS TIPS ON HOW YOU CAN SAVE THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES THAT REALLY CAN GET YOU SOME DISCOUNTS, AS WELL AS TRICKS TO SAVE FUEL AS YOU DRIVE. OKAY, WE WANT TO GET YOU UPDATED HERE. IT’S NOW DAY TEN OF THE WAR WITH IRAN AND STRIKES CONTINUE TODAY ACROSS THE MIDDLE EAST. TODAY, THE PENTAGON IDENTIFIED THE SEVENTH U.S. SERVICE MEMBER KILLED IN THE WAR. ABC’S OLIVIA RUBIN HAS THE LATEST U.S. AND ISRAELI AIRSTRIKES CONTINUING TO POUND IRAN. THESE AIRSTRIKES ON AN AIR BASE CAPTURED BY A PASSING VEHICLE AND VIDEO CIRCULATING ONLINE TODAY. THE PENTAGON IDENTIFYING THE SEVENTH U.S. SERVICE MEMBER KILLED IN OPERATION EPIC FURY, 26 YEAR OLD SERGEANT BENJAMIN PENNINGTON FROM KENTUCKY. OFFICIALS SAY PENNINGTON WAS WOUNDED ON MARCH 1ST DURING AN IRANIAN ATTACK ON A U.S. MILITARY BASE IN SAUDI ARABIA, AN ATTACK THAT WASN’T PREVIOUSLY DISCLOSED BY U.S. CENTRAL COMMAND. IF YOU ARE THE PRAYING TYPE, AND I CERTAINLY AM, I HOPE YOU’LL SPARE A PRAYER FOR THE SIX SOULS THAT WE LOST FOR THE SEVENTH SOUL WHO WILL BE COMING HOME TONIGHT AND FOR ALL OF THEIR FAMILIES. BUT PRESIDENT TRUMP VOWING TO CONTINUE THE FIGHT. WE’VE DECIMATED THEIR WHOLE EVIL EMPIRE. IT WILL CONTINUE, I’M SURE, FOR A LITTLE WHILE. THE BIG QUESTION NOW, WILL PRESIDENT TRUMP SEND IN U.S. TROOPS ON THE GROUND? IN A NEW INTERVIEW WITH THE NEW YORK POST, THE PRESIDENT SAYING HE’S NOWHERE NEAR A DECISION INDICATING THERE IS STILL MUCH TO GO IN THIS CONFLICT OVERSEAS. IRANIAN STATE MEDIA REPORTING THE SON OF THE ASSASSINATED AYATOLLAH KHAMENEI HAS BEEN CHOSEN TO SUCCEED HIM, DESPITE PRESIDENT TRUMP’S DEMAND FOR UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER AND TO BE INVOLVED IN CHOOSING THE NEXT LEADER. SUPPORTERS OF THAT NEW LEADER TODAY GATHERING IN THE STREETS OF TEHRAN TO CELEBRATE ISRAEL, THOUGH SAYING THE NEW LEADER IS A TARGET. I THINK WE ARE ALL SEEING RIGHT NOW THE THREAT THAT THIS CLERICAL REGIME POSES TO THE REGION AND TO THE WORLD. THEY ARE TRYING TO HOLD THE WORLD HOSTAGE. MEANWHILE, THE U.S. SAYS IT’S INTERCEPTED, ENCRYPTED COMMUNICATIONS BELIEVED TO BE FROM IRAN, WHICH MAY SERVE AS AN OPERATIONAL TRIGGER FOR SLEEPER ASSETS OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY. THE GOVERNMENT NOW WARNING LAW ENFORCEMENT TO INCREASE MONITORING OF SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY, THOUGH RIGHT NOW IT SAYS THERE IS NO OPERATIONAL THREAT TIED TO A SPECIFIC LOCATION. OLIVIA RUBIN, ABC NEWS, WASHINGTON. OKAY, AND STAY WITH PITTSBURGH’S ACTION NEWS FOUR AND ABC NEWS AS WE FOLLOW THE DEVELOPMENTS IN THE MIDDLE EAST, YOU CAN LOOK FOR A FULL REPORT AHEAD AT 630 ON WORLD NEWS TONIGHT WITH DAVID MUIR. ALL NEW THIS AFTERNOON. A PITCAIRN MAN WANTED ON A HOMICIDE BY VEHICLE CHARGE IS NOW IN CUSTODY. THE ALLEGHENY COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE SAYS 24 YEAR-OLD JORDAN BOYER WAS WANTED IN A CRASH ALONG THE PARKWAY EAST THAT KILLED A 20 YEAR-OLD PASSENGER AND INJURED ANOTHER PERSON. THIS HAPPENED BACK IN SEPTEMBER 2024 NEAR THE BOULEVARD OF THE ALLIES EXIT. POLICE SAY BOYER WAS DRIVING DRUNK WHEN THIS HAPPENED. DEPUTIES TOOK HIM INTO CUSTODY TODAY AT A HOME IN PITCAIRN. MORE NOW ON ANOTHER OF OUR TOP STORIES AT FOUR. POLICE MAKE AN ARREST AFTER A CAR SLAMS INTO ANOTHER CAR AT THE POST OFFICE IN CLAIRTON.
