“Gasoline prices are likely to fluctuate in the coming weeks, but not drastically, as the winter driving season nears its end and refineries undergo maintenance,” said Mary Maguire, Director, Public and Legislative Affairs, in a press release. “This is the typical trend this time of year.”

The range in prices in the latest AAA survey for unleaded regular is 83 cents, from a low of $2.22 to a high of $3.05.
