verage price of a gallon of regular-grade gasoline rose 9 cents nationally

If you’re feeling a little more pain at the pump, it’s because the average price of a gallon of regular-grade gasoline rose 9 cents nationally over the past two weeks, to $2.43. Industry analyst Trilby Lundberg said Sunday that increased oil prices and the U.S. missile strike on a Syrian air base contributed to the rise. The report stated that, unless oil prices retreat quickly, consumers should expect gasoline prices to climb a few more cents. The national average is up 33 cents per gallon over the price a year ago. Here in our area, the lowest price according to Gas Buddy dot com is at the Circle K at 923 S Main St & South St selling regular grade for 2.27 a gallon with several locations around Bryan at 2.28.
