Florida gas prices are expected to rise an average of 5 to 10 cents this week, according to AAA, the Auto Club Group.
State gas prices averaged $2.46 a gallon Monday, down a penny over the week, while Tampa Bay gas was $2.43 per gallon, down 4 cents from last week.
"Gasoline supplies are beginning to tighten as refineries conduct seasonal maintenance and switch to summer-blend gasoline," said Mark Jenkins, AAA spokesman, said.
Nationally, gas was $2.48 a gallon on average Monday.
