Gas prices rise as more drivers hit the road

Posted

Gas prices continue to creep up, as more drivers hit the road for the spring and summer driving season, AAA says.

The national average price for regular unleaded gasoline is $2.42 per gallon. In New York state, the average is $2.54 per gallon. Here in Western New York, prices are a few cents lower than the state average, at $2.49 per gallon.

Prices are expected to continue to rise as refineries complete the switchover to the more expensive summer blends of gasoline, AAA says.
