A couple of days ago, I mentioned the rise in gasoline prices with the local Flying J at $3.899/gallon of unleaded regular.
RV Travel, in today's Newsletter, mentioned the price rise:
The national average for a gallon of gas rose by a nickel since last week, to hit $3.85 on Thursday. The primary culprit is the surge in oil costs, which have jumped several dollars to around $90 per barrel. “Oil costs are putting upward pressure on pump prices, but the rise is tempered by much lower demand,” said Andrew Gross, AAA spokesperson. “The slide in people fueling up is typical, with schools back in session, the days getting shorter, and the weather less pleasant. But the usual decline in pump prices is being stymied for now by these high oil costs.” Today’s national average of $3.85 is the same as a month ago but 15 cents more than a year ago.
