It’s time to keep an eye on fuel consumption.

Gas prices have crept up in the last few weeks to $3.16 per gallon.

According to AAA, it’s an annual occurrence common for this time of year. 

As spring approaches, refineries are beginning their transition to summer blend fuel, which often results in higher price.

Anybody who has taken a trip in the spring and summer knows that gas prices are a concern.

The national average per kilowatt hour of electricity at a public EV charging station remains the same at 34 cents.
