Question

Why have gas prices increased recently?

Answer 1

We use a seasonal gas during the summer which is specially blended to reduce smog and other kinds of air pollution. This specially blended formula along with the increase in demand (people use more gas during the spring and summer because that's when they usually take vacation) cause the prices to rise. Don't expect a decrease until fall when we can go back to regular gas. Best Wishes

Iranian nuclear standoff, as well as turmoil in Nigeria.. . In addition, refineries are now required to switch over to summer blends of fuel, and refinery capacity is tight as we haven't built a new refinery in pretty close to three decades.
