Including the change in gas prices in Arkansas during the past week, prices

"Gasoline prices have perked up a bit in the last week," said GasBuddy.com
Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. "As we continue to move towards
warmer weather, gasoline prices will follow, with prices accelerating higher
at a faster pace come late March into April, so if motorists think this is
bad, they should really hold on to their chairs," DeHaan said.
