Gasoline prices not topping out
Attention Triad motorists: Zip to the gas station and fill up now. Gasoline prices are rising and a further increase of up to 15 cents per gallon is expected by Memorial Day.
Such a jump would push prices past the frightful $2 per gallon mark at most stations. The average in the Triad on Tuesday was $1.90, according to AAA Carolinas, up 4 cents from Monday.
"That $2 mark is a big mental mark," said Sarah Davis, a spokeswoman for the auto group. "And that's why people are paying attention to it much more now than they have in the past."
Davis said gas prices usually go up this time of year, but this jump is different because the starting point was so high.
During the first two months of 2004, for example, gas prices in Greensboro hovered below $1.60 per gallon. This year, prices were topping $1.80 during most of February.
