Posted by Bryan Connelly in : ARDA, Customer Comments, General, News & Events, Travel, Uncategorized , trackbackGas prices have been steadily rising for the third week in a row. Growing cent by cent the national average has risen by a dime over the past few days; rising well over $.30 since Christmas time.

Plenty of people across the U.S. are anticipating that prices will be back to the normal highs—and soon.
