(Temperatures are not the only thing going up)…Gas prices are also on the increase.

Motorists are already feeling the increase. The price of a gallon of regular gas was reported at $3.85 in some areas. Prices could hit $4.00 a gallon by mid summer. The National average for gas was reported at $2.81. Californians can add a dollar to the National Average price, due to taxes and stringent environmental standards. Wednesday’s Oil Surge brought prices to its highest prices in more than 3 years. Gas prices have been steadily on the increase for the last few weeks.
