Rise in Gas Prices Expected to Continue

Rising oil prices and the switch to summer blend gasoline continue to push prices up at the pump. That’s according to the weekly update released by GasBuddy Monday. Indiana’s average gas price was $2.58 a gallon, five cents higher than the week before and 19 cents higher than a month ago. But some gas stations were charging significantly more than that.

GasBuddy Head of Petroleum Analysis Patrick DeHaan says gas prices are going up in all 50 states, as refineries are switching to the cleaner, more expensive summer gasoline and oil prices keep moving higher. He predicts that pattern will continue for at least a few more weeks.
