“When close to 40% of U.S. crude production is offline because refineries are closed, there is going to be pain at the pump until operations resume,” said Mary Maguire, AAA Northeast Director of Public and Government Affairs, in a press release.“The good news is the nearly two dozen impacted refiners are expected to restart operations this week, if they haven’t already.”
AAA Northeast’s February 22 survey of fuel prices found the current national average to be 13 cents higher than last week ($2.50), averaging $2.63 a gallon.
