Nicholle Pallan-Larkin said she paid $3.35 and that it had gone up 40 cents since Sunday. Megan Schafer said gas was $2.79 two days ago in Boynton and has since climbed to $3.29.
Patrick De Haan of GasBuddy — the app that offers gas price comparisons — said the tension in the oil industry is driving prices up globally, even though U.S. supplies remain unaffected.
"When the balance of supply and demand is upset even in a minor way, it can have major ripple effects across the globe," De Haan said.
De Haan said the biggest increases may still be ahead.
"I think the bulk of the largest increases will be occurring in the next 24 to 48 hours, which could extend for a period of a couple of days. By early next week, I think the market may start to slow down, unless there are new developments," De Haan said.
For now, gas supplies in the area remain good. It's just the price that keeps going up.
