“This is the second week in a row that gas prices have moved very slowly upwards,” said Auto Club spokesperson Jeffrey Spring. “Wholesale gasoline and crude oil continue to trade at high levels and so far we haven’t seen a precipitous drop in those prices, which help determine how much consumers pay at the pump.”
