GAS PRICES CONTINUE TO RISE, SLOWER THAN PREVIOUS DAYS

The increase at the pump happened again on Monday statewide. AAA Daily Fuel Gauge says that prices have averaged a 1.5 cent increase overnight; however, that number is less than previous days. Any new tensions in the Middle East could send prices shooting up in the coming days. Prices historically rise in the coming months as well, as gas companies switch over to the summer grade of fuel.
