Spring Is Bringing
Higher US Gas Prices For the most commonly-used regular gas,
a gallon is now an average of $2.58. In less than two months, tech company GasBuddy says pricing has jumped 35 cents. GasBuddy adds that the uptick is partly due to people driving more
as the weather gets warmer. The other reason is due to production cuts by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). During the spring season is
when refinery maintenance
for vehicles takes place. The process takes crude oil and filters
it into petroleum products. Prices have gone up the most
in the state of Michigan. An average regular gallon in
the state has increased
75 cents from earlier in 2019. GasBuddy, via 'USA Today'
