“Gas prices will inch higher before July 4th, on renewed concerns of global oil supply shortages,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA – The Auto Club Group.<\/p>\n

“Oil prices are back to multi-year highs. Another 5-10 cent increase at the pump would not be out of the question this week, but prices will not rocket high enough to ruin travel plans,” Jenkins stated.<\/p>\n

Motorists will find the most expensive Independence Day gas prices in three years. In 2015, holiday motorists paid $2.74 per gallon; a huge difference from 2014, when a gallon of regular averaged $3.45. <\/p>\n
