\n\t\t\t\t\t\tGas prices in Pennsylvania have surged to over $4 per gallon for regular gas and nearly $6 per gallon for diesel due to the ongoing war in Iran.At Sheetz on Columbia Avenue and Centerville Road in Lancaster County, regular gas is priced at $4.19 per gallon, while diesel is nearing $6 at $5.99. Other stations like Royal Farms, Turkey Hill, and Sunoco are still sitting at $3.99 per gallon.Deputy Press Secretary Kush Desai told News8 the disruptions in gas prices are short-term and part of a timeline that is ahead of schedule. “The president made very clear that these are short-term disruptions for long-term benefit,” Desai said.Desai added that the U.S. military is well ahead of schedule in meeting its objectives within the first 30 days of President Donald Trump’s four to six-week timeline to the end of the war in Iran. “We’re very confident that these short-term disruptions are going to be just that, short-term,” he said.Gas prices in parts of Pennsylvania have increased by around 10 cents overnight. “There’s lots of volatility in the energy markets, you know, oil goes up, oil goes down. And gas prices go up and down as a result,” Desai said.Local residents like Craig Wingenroth and Mike Hammes are feeling the impact at the pump. “You have to. I’m not taking the bus or walking,” Wingenroth said. “Hopefully it doesn’t get any higher.”Hammes opted for a more fuel-efficient scooter. “It’s regular unleaded. It gets about 75 miles per gallon. A lot cheaper than driving my vehicle,” he said.Desai expressed optimism about a quick decline in gas prices once the war in Iran is over and the markets are stabilized. “I think we’re looking at our likely to be very quick decline in gas prices again once the markets are stabilized,” he said. “Once we meet the objective Operation Epic Fury, we want to get back into doubling down on ‘Drill, Baby. Drill,’ get more oil and gas out of the market onto the American market and get those prices down again. Again, in the long term.”The White House Deputy Press Secretary said the Trump administration says gas prices should be lower than what they were at the start of the war once it is over.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
