And, with rising tensions in the Middle East involving Iran’s not backing off their nuclear program and their threats to block shipping along the Strait of Hormuz, officials are predicting the prices will go higher before they get any lower.
Last week, the average Tampa Bay Area price per gallon was $3.62. Today, you can find gas as high as $3.70 or higher.
The nations highest price per gallon is reported to be in San Diego with $4.24 as an average.
