As the weather grows warmer, motorists are likely to see higher prices at the pump, according to The Associated Press. Many analysts believe average retail gasoline prices will top $3 per gallon this spring. Prices have climbed 9.2 cents in the last month and are now 80.6 cents higher than levels of a year ago. The jump in retail prices comes after wholesale gasoline prices rose. An 18 percent increase in oil prices that pushed crude near a 2010 high of $83.95 per barrel also contributed to the higher gas prices. Star Ledger
