According to the Department of Energy, pump prices for gasoline have been increasing through the holiday season as demand escalated. Prices into the new year are expected to remain steady with oil remaining right around $61 a barrel.
For the five weeks ending Dec. 25, the DOE average price for grades of fuel increased. According to DOE, the average price for regular unleaded fuel in the U.S. is 14.4 cents a gallon higher than it was at the same time last year. As a result of this the January sell prices reflect the following average changes per gallon, by grade: regular + $.077, mid-grade + $.076, premium + $.078, diesel + $.070.
