Drivers across Arkansas are experiencing higher pump prices following the Christmas holiday and winter storm driver. The average price of fuel has jumped 7 cents in the last week.
The Triple A's weekly Fuel Gauge says the average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline is now $3.04 in Little Rock. This time last week drivers were filling up for an average of $2.97.
The auto club says the climb in prices could be to blame for worries over the looming "fiscal cliff" among other factors.
Nationally, gas prices average about $3.25 this week.
In Arkansas, pump prices range from a low of $3.04 in Little Rock to $3.10 in Texarkana.
