“As some states begin to re-open businesses, those states will likely see demand increase and pump prices will likely follow suit,” said Mary Maguire, Director, Public and Legislative Affairs, in a press release.

The range in prices in the latest AAA survey for unleaded regular is 95 cents, from a low of $1.44 to a high of $2.39.
