Gas Prices Could Rise By 20 Cents In The Coming Weeks

USAToday is reporting that gas prices could jump by $0.20 in the coming weeks as retail prices catch up to the recent surge in oil costs.

“We haven’t seen the full pass-through yet,” Energy Information Administration head Guy Caruso said.

Today’s national average is $3.105, up 39% from last year. Oil prices have risen approximately $20 a barrel in the past two months, and gas prices are up $0.30.
