Pipeline issues mean higher gasoline prices | www.whiotv.com
The Miami Valley should brace for a spike in gas prices starting today, as Midwestern pipeline and refinery issues may drive prices up as much as 35 cents per gallon by Friday evening.
The price hike could bring Dayton-area prices to between $3.85 and $3.95 per gallon of regular gasoline, Patrick DeHaan, GasBuddy.com senior petroleum analyst, said Wednesday.
“Some areas in Michigan and Indiana may flirt with $4 per gallon,” he said, but thought the $4 mark was unlikely in Southwest Ohio.
