After the state average dipped to $3.01 per gallon last Monday — a 2023 low — prices jumped suddenly to $3.17 by Thursday.
“There isn’t any clear explanation for last week’s sudden increase, as oil and gasoline futures logged their sixth consecutive weekly loss,” AAA’s Mark Jenkins said.
“Regardless, drivers in many cities are beginning to find gas prices close to the same levels where they were last week,” Jenkins added.
