Gas stations face monthly pass through price hikes
An Associated Press check found pump increases of one to five cents per gallon across several states as wholesale prices rise amid tighter supplies and a government grant. Federal officials allow another one cent gain, with expectations of further rises later in the week. Dealers warn the higher costs will burden consumers, while some stations may suspend service due to shortages.
