As we’ve seen this week in the area, you are paying more to fill up the gas tanks in order to drive through the snow.

Gail Weinholzer, at Triple-A-Iowa, says it’s not your imagination; gasoline prices are higher than usual.

The average price for gas in Iowa is two-58 a gallon. That’s up 20-cents from a year ago.

While the weather is still wintry, we’re almost a month into spring, which usually means an upturn in gas prices.
