RICHMOND, VA—Gas
prices are at their highest point ever for this time of the year, and the surge
is setting the way for even higher gas prices in the future.
Richmonders
are paying an average of $3.38 a gallon when they fill up at the pump, that's
up some 17¢ a gallon from just last week.
Richmond: $3.38—17¢ more than this time last week Virginia: $3.41—14¢ more than this time last week Nationally: $3.52—17¢ more than this time
last week
As far as what's causing
the jump, rising crude oil prices, refinery maintenance slowdowns and low
gasoline supplies are all taking the heat.
Normally these factors
would push gas prices higher in the spring, but because of January maintenance
and low inventories, prices are going up now.
The good news is AAA
says gas prices are not expected to be as high as they were last year.
In 2012 the average US household spent
almost $3,000 in gas, according to the US Energy Information Administration.
That's about 4% of the average household income before taxes.
