Gas prices may hit four dollars a gallon by Monday

Heathrow, FL -  Gas prices across the U.S. are expected to average four dollars a gallon before the end of the weekend.  AAA says the national average for a gallon of regular rose to 3-92 on Saturday, up from 3-84 on Friday and 3-73 on Thursday.  The auto club says the steady increases suggest that the national average will creep over four dollars a gallon by Sunday.

Gas prices are averaging about $3.59-$3.69 in Fargo and Bismarck, ND. Prices in Williston and Dickinson are about $3.69-$3.79. 

The last time gas prices hit four dollars per gallon was during the Great Recession in July of 2008. Some states have already passed that mark. In California, gas is already over five dollars a gallon.
