CHICAGO (GB) -- Motorists should be aware of the likelihood of a sharp rise in gasoline prices in the next few days and through the weekend in Rockford.
"I expect stations to increase prices as much as 5-to-20 cents per gallon by the conclusion of the weekend with some stations starting to raise prices immediately," says Patrick DeHaan, GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst.
DeHaan warns that a refinery fire in Washington state is boosting prices significantly throughout the entire West Coast region, and rising spot prices in Great Lakes area is boosting prices 30-to-45 cents per gallon today in Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky. Prices have also been reportedly rising fast in New England, Florida, and areas of the East Coast.
Gregg Laskoski, Petroleum Analyst also cites the refinery fire in Washington for an expected jump in California, saying "prices across the State of California already made significant advances in the prior seven days, and with the refinery fire, motorists should expect prices to rise in similar fashion as last February when the Libyan situation unfolded."

Wall Street is using the fire in Washington in order to raise the price of gas. The president has the right to release some of the gas from the reserves but is anyone paying attention, no. Wall street is killing the middle class. I personally feel that the middle should wake in protest like we did during the in the late 60's and early 70's. to show the rich and out of touch people who work in Washington D.C. that the middle is taxed to death and we are really tired of it. By raising prices all it does it steal money that could of been saved for retirement. Where will the we be in 20 years. I've gone back to growing and canning my own foods to save money it's a lot easier and much better for my family.
