President Joe Biden just announced that the United States will ban imports of Russian oil. This likely means that San Diego gas prices, which have already blown past the $5-a-gallon barrier, will probably keep going up.

We’d like to hear from you. Do you agree with Biden’s decision to ban Russian oil imports? How is the high cost of gas affecting you? Are you changing your driving habits? Are you not buying things you normally would so you have enough money to fill up your tank? Are you considering car pooling, public transportation or other ways to get around?

Your stories and experiences could be included in upcoming reporting on the consequences of high gas prices in San Diego County.
