PITTSBURGH — Gas prices in southwestern Pennsylvania have shot up more than 25 cents in the past month, and experts don't expect them to drop any time soon.
Jim Garrity from AAA told Channel 11's Courtney Brennan the price jump came as we approach the busy season for road trips.
"We're leading into what is expected to be a very busy travel season for us," he said.
Channel 11 checked several gas stations around the area and found the same thing - gas above $3 per gallon.
"We can expect to see prices continue to go up in the weeks and months ahead," Garrity said.
Garrity explains what's to blame for the increase in the full report from Courtney Brennan above.
