It looks like your next fill up will cost more.

Gas prices are on the rise in Pittsburgh, across Pennsylvania and the United States.

At $3.44, Gas Buddy says over the past week, the average price of a gallon of gas in the Pittsburgh area has gone up a little more than eight cents.

Ten cents more than the average price just a month ago.

Nationally, the average price of gas is up 6.5 cents a gallon from a week ago.

Crude oil prices last week hit their highest prices since last July.

Gas Buddy says President Trump's executive orders may also affect prices as could any retributions from Canada over threatened tariffs, noting the current increase is not even the start of the traditional season rise, which could push prices higher in the next few weeks.
