Fortunately, a potential 5-10 cent increase this week would still leave pump prices below this year&#8217;s highs,&#8221; stated Jenkins.<\/p>\n<p>Although oil prices held relatively steady last week, gasoline futures surged for the second week.&nbsp;The price for gasoline on the NYMEX rose a total of 16 cents during the past two weeks, pushing wholesale gas prices higher. Gasoline rose in response to EIA data that showed&nbsp;a dip in gasoline supply inventories, as gasoline demand reaches near record levels. Gasoline demand for the week of July 20th,&nbsp;was the fourth highest weekly rate this year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Gas Price Tools<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\"
