AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — Gas prices in Maine shot up more than eight cents per gallon in the past week and are now pushing the $4 per gallon mark.
Price-monitoring website MaineGasPrices.com reports Monday that the average retail price of a gallon gas in Maine is now $3.98.
That’s more than 15 cents per gallon higher than a month ago and more than 22 cents per gallon higher than at the same time a year ago.
The price in Maine is also seven cents above the national average.
A company analyst says relief may be on the way. Prices in the hardest hit areas of the country including Chicago and California are already falling, while oil refineries appear to be coming out of maintenance and boosting production.
