COLDWATER (WTVB) -The latest gas price hike is being called a short term regional issue, but it can’t go away soon enough. If you were unfortunate not to get your tank filled before the double spike this week, or need frequent fill-ups, Patrick Dehaan at Gas Buddy.com says we could be stuck with these prices in the 3.90’s for two to three weeks while three refinery malfunctions get straightened out and the oil starts flowing on Pipeline 14 again in Wisconsin.

This part of the country is the only area seeing the prices rise.  Nationally gas prices are dropping.
