Gas prices continue to increase

WUTF FM - U. Florida -- A 14-cent increase in gas prices over just one week created concern for many Florida residents.

The average Florida price for regular gas is $3.57, which is slightly higher than the national level.

tomok Champion Author Portland Posts:33,014 Points:2,345,510 Joined:Aug 2006	Message Posted: Feb 8, 2013 8:40:00 AM Ignore tomok Report Abuse Gas prices continue to increase! Gas prices continue to rise and Big Oil and Big Gas sells fuel and natural gas on the world market for higher prices. The US ‘oil and natural gas resources’ belong to the citizens of this country and are to be used by those same citizens! The price at the pump needs to go down to $2/gallon - $3, $3.50/gallon or *$4.00 is Not the new low! More Refineries are Not the answer, Stop exporting fuel is! Take care of the domestic fuel market first and above all else! Drive vehicles with high MPG, are very safe, reliable, have a ‘reasonable’ cost and a good ‘value’ for the money. The price of fuel at the pump is too high!
