AAA reports Gas Prices on the Rise
April 3, 2017
Tampa, FL – All signs point to higher gas prices. Gasoline demand is surging while inventories are beginning to slip. Meanwhile, refineries are getting rid of excess winter blend gasoline as they continue to push summer blend fuel into the market, which is more expensive to produce.
Today the national average for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline is $2.32, an increase of 3 cents from last week, up a few fractions of a cent from one month ago, and 26 cents more than this time last year.
Declining gasoline inventories normally trigger a rise in gas prices.

The price of gas should take a seasonal upswing in the coming weeks.

Tampa, FL – Prices at the pump rose slightly this week. The national average for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline is $2.279 today, up nearly a penny from last week, down 8 cents from a month ago and an increase of 58 cents over last year.

Gas prices should remain steady in the near-term before taking their seasonal upswing as we head into the spring.”
