Average retail gasoline prices in Asheville have risen 1.6 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.63/g yesterday. This compares with the national average that has increased 4.5 cents per gallon in the last week to $3.51/g, according to gasoline price website AshevilleGasPrices.com.
Including the change in gas prices in Asheville during the past week, prices yesterday were 53.2 cents per gallon higher than the same day one year ago and are 18.5 cents per gallon higher than a month ago. The national average has increased 17.1 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 35.0 cents per gallon higher than this day one year ago.
"Gasoline prices have perked up a bit in the last week," said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. "As we continue to move towards warmer weather, gasoline prices will follow, with prices accelerating higher at a faster pace come late March into April, so if motorists think this is bad, they should really hold on to their chairs," DeHaan said.

Supply continues to be up, demand continues to remain flat or even fall, yet prices continue to rise. Some claim it's based upon concern about what Iran will do (a petroleum importer, by the way), or some other ridiculous excuse.
The fact of the matter is this continued hosing of the American consumer at the pumps is almost exclusively the result of unfettered greed, perpetrated by oil speculators. Should anyone doubt this, it is very easy to validate.
