Gas Prices Top the $4 mark in Houlton

 

With gas prices already up 20% from last summer, analysts are expecting even larger increases in the weeks ahead.    

 

Heading into Memorial Day weekend prices around Houlton were pretty consistent, with $4.04 being the common price for regular.    Around the state of Maine, we found prices as low as $3.73 in Auburn, all the way up to a whopping $4.40 per gallon on the Island of Vinalhaven. (Island residents typically pay considerably more, due to the high cost of servicing island customers.)  The highest price we could find in a non-island location in Maine was $4.12 in Rangely.

 

Those who keep a close watch on the oil futures market are predicting $5 per gallon gas this summer.
