Gas Prices on the Rise
If your planning a summer vacation that involves driving get ready to pay at the pumps.
Rising oil prices are expected to translate to higher gas prices this summer. The current national average is $2.81 per gallon and should stay around $2.74 to $2.81 per gallon during the summer.
According to fortune.com compared to last summer when we were paying $2.41 per gallon. This summer is shaping up to be the most expensive driving season since 2014.
