According to AAA, the national gas price average has increased nearly 20-cents since the beginning of the year, which is the largest jump during the January-February timeframe since 2015.
They say pump prices Pump prices rose steadily across the country in February, a month that saw a number of refineries undergoing planned and unplanned maintenance, and an increase in crude oil prices.
Today’s national average is $2.42, which is three-cents more expensive than last week, 17-cents more expensive than a month ago, but 10-cents cheaper than a year ago.
“Pump prices have been pushed higher this week due to reduced gasoline stock levels and increased demand,” said Jeanette Casselano, AAA spokesperson. “Motorists can expect gas prices to continue to increase as refineries gear up for spring gasoline production and maintenance season.”
AAA says on the West Coast, Motorists are paying some of the highest pump prices in the nation, with most of the region’s states landing on the nation’s top 10 most expensive list with both California and Hawaii as the most expensive markets at $3.29.

What excuse will they have when we go to the “ summer blend “.
It’s always some excuse to gouge the public. The Dems should investigate this rather than wasting our tax dollars to hate the President.
