Pump price hike should be temporary

Analysts warned us that gas prices had probably hit bottom and it appears as though that are on the upswing, with the average price at the pump in Columbus jumping 9 cents overnight. The average price for a gallon of regular gasoline in Columbus Thursday morning was $1.96, according to a daily survey from the AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and WEX, Inc. That is 17 cents higher than Monday and 40 cents higher than a month ago.
