US gas prices surge to seven-year high on fifth day of DarkSide cyber shutdown of Colonial Pipeline: Fuel distributors warn of catastrophic shortages as Putin denies link to hackers
The national average for retail gasoline prices was at $2.985 as of Tuesday, which is the highest in seven years
The last time average gas prices were above $2.99 was back in November 2014
Colonial Pipeline has said it is trying to substantially restore operations by the end of the week but reports of gas shortages are already emerging
Fears of a looming shortage have already prompted panic buying with gas stations in various cities already running out of fuel or restricting sales
Ralph Northam and Brian Kemp, governors of Virginia and Georgia, declared a state of emergency Tuesday
On Monday the governor of North Carolina, Roy Cooper, took a similar step to deal with the fuel crisis
The moves are designed to limit the fallout from the Colonial Pipeline hack, which began on Thursday
The pipeline was shut from Friday to Monday due to a ransomware attack from Russia-based hackers
The 5,500-mile pipeline is being brought back on line but service will not be fully restored until end of week
The national average for retail gasoline was $2.985 on Tuesday - a seven-year high
