Gasoline prices in Orlando have risen 15.9 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.75/g yesterday, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 856 gas outlets in Orlando. This compares with the national average that has increased 11.9 cents per gallon in the last week to $3.68/g, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com.
Including the change in gas prices in Orlando during the past week, prices yesterday were 10.6 cents per gallon higher than the same day one year ago and are 40.8 cents per gallon higher than a month ago. The national average has increased 42.2 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 16.7 cents per gallon higher than this day one year ago.
“The steady climb of retail gas prices is likely to continue following double-digit increases in wholesale prices with fuel production tightening in the majority of the country’s refineries,” said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Gregg Laskoski.
