I’ve been doing a lot of driving in recent weeks, back and forth from the north eastern tip of Maine to the Massachusetts/New Hampshire border, and I have one more trip scheduled for the end of this week. Sadly, I have noticed as I have been logging a lot of miles on my frequent trips that gas prices are on the rise again.
AP News reports:
The price of gasoline in the U.S. jumped 25 cents a gallon during the past three weeks, but remains well below prices from a year ago.
The average price of regular gas across the nation on Friday was $2.30 a gallon. Up from $2.05 a gallon, on April 24, but still $1.49 a gallon “cheaper than at this time last year.”
The price increase comes just in time to make summer plans for struggling families, just a little more costly, in the midst of the recession.

Why do you think gas prices have gone up?

Supply and demand… prices usually rise some this time of year.
‘Sigh’ It was just several months ago that a gallon of gas in these parts was $1.45.
I almost had my take my picture next to pump just to remind myself of what gas could be!!
Oh well, too late now – gas is at $2.41 a gallon and climbing…
