MONTGOMERY (AP) — Retail gasoline prices across Alabama are on the rise due in part to heightened tensions in the Middle East and cutbacks in oil production.
According to a survey from AAA, Monday’s statewide average price for a gallon of regular is $1.54. That’s a penny higher than Sunday’s average.
The national average for regular is $1.67.
Other motors fuels also climbed. Midgrade averaged $1.65 and premium cost $1.70 a gallon.
Mobile area motorists are paying the highest metro average for regular at $1.59. The cheapest city average was found in Birmingham at $1.50 a gallon.

Well add Dothan to the highest for the gas along with Mobile. $1.59 last night at most every station around!
I agree with you! It does appear that the slightest excuse is all that’s needed to raise those gas prices. Mondays were good excuses for a while. I don’t suppose these places realize that it takes time for the events elsewhere to affect the availability of oil. Oh, was that a secret?
I suppose any reason is a “good” reason”. (Oops…..the grass grew another centimeter, time to up gas prices again!)
Don’t laugh, it is probably closer to the truth than you want to admit.
