Tonight&#8217;s surge in prices comes as questions remain about military action in Syria moving future. Geopolitical tensions have surged tonight between some of the world&#8217;s largest oil producers, and the market, with concern abounding, will likely send oil prices higher,&#8221; said Patrick DeHaan, GasBuddy senior petroleum analyst. &#8220;It is too early to know how severe or how long the impact to oil prices may be.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The missile strike in Syria this evening brings forth risk and uncertainty on a global scale. Oil&#8217;s rise this evening is based on geopolitical circumstance and as a benchmark commodity and hedge, it is likely its value will rise in proportion to developments,&#8221; said Dan McTeague, senior Canadian petroleum analyst.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While there is not yet an imminent major impact to North American gasoline prices, the situation could rapidly change, we&#8217;re monitoring it and will keep consumers informed,&#8221; DeHaan added.<\/p>\n<h3>About GasBuddy<\/h3>\n<p>GasBuddy is the technology company changing the way more than 60 million consumers find, purchase, and save money on gasoline.
