Gasoline prices are on the rise throughout the country.
The reason for the increase in prices is due to increasing demand and inventory shortages at gasoline refineries in the Northeast, she said. Glover said many refineries have been running at full speed to meet natural gas demands during the winter, and time that is usually spent generating gasoline supplies for the summer was sacrificed as a result. Supplies from other areas of the country won t help much, she said. A lot comes from the Gulf Coast. But not every motorist at local service stations thinks supply and demand are the reasons for price increases.
