When the war gets more brutal, I expect increasing pressure to shut off the Russian oil and gas spigot. Or instead increase import tariffs so at least the Putin regime isn't able to profit. Either way, it will increase the cost at the pump, and I'm expecting well above $6/gallon.

We don't import that much from Russia. It's little enough that finding other sources shouldn't take long. Oil and gas are highly fungible.

The rest of the world does and thus the price of oil will go up for everyone.

Did, prior to sanctions. Now even though oil and gas aren't sanctioned, Russian oil is going without buyers.
