Gas Prices Jump Again

WNLS6 March 31, 2007 04:53 AM EDT gas prices

Drivers beware, prices at the pump are on the rise. If you're hitting the road this weekend, you 'll pay a lot more to fill the gas tank. Prices are now at their highest level so far this year. The current prices at the pump...

Driver: "It's ridiculous, this economy is crazy right now."

Driver: "It's 50 bucks to fill up this tank. It was 40 not too long ago."

Even as high as $2.75.

Driver: "You know, you hope it doesn't go much higher. It's kind of getting ridiculous to me."

Everywhere you turn this week, prices at the pump are going up, up, up.

Bill McCullough, AAA Michigan: "It's been a while. I'd say it's been about a year since we've had these kind of numbers."

Bill McCullough tracks gas prices for AAA. He says tensions in Iran are pushing oil prices higher. The question for drivers, though is this just a short bump in the road or a sign that higher prices are here to stay?

Driver: "You never know, but gas prices do tend to go up a bit in the summer when we hit the busy vacation time and everyone starts hitting the roads."

And that vacation travel really begins with spring break this week.

Blake Lynch, driver: "I'm traveling this weekend and it's going to take two full tanks of gas, and that's a big difference."

So for now drivers can expect higher costs.

Driver: "$2.75, that's crazy."

And more pain at the pump on the road ahead.

They've got use by the balls, don't you think that this should be part of the presidential campaign?
