Gas Prices Inching Upward
CAPE CORAL, Fla. -- Gas prices are on the way upward as 2012 comes to an end. According to AAA, retail gas prices have inched back up in December after a steady decline since November. "Gas prices are doing exactly what was expected, closing out the year on an upswing," said Jessica Brady, AAA spokeswoman, The Auto Club Group. "Motorists could very likely see pump prices increase into mid January before starting to retreat again. This year, much like 2011, was a volatile year for both oil and gas prices with some unexpected trends. Next year could be very similar in terms of volatility and unconventional trends." The national average price of regular unleaded is $3.25, up 2 cents from last week. Florida's average is $3.29, according to AAA.
