AAA attributes the price jump to a rise in crude oil prices and some refineries closing for good or for maintenance. They call this week-over-week spike the most dramatic in nearly two years.
In West Chester Patch, the best price is $3.48 at Lukoil on Wilmington Pike, according to Patch’s commute report.
