TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - Gas prices are expected to start creeping upward.

Triple A expects the cost of gas could increase by as much as 70 cents per gallon between now and Memorial Day.

The price hike is due to an increase in driving as the weather gets nicer during spring, as well as maintenance at refineries and the annual switch to a more expensive summer blend of gasoline.

On average, the price for a full tank of gas could go up by about $8 to $10 per fill up in the coming months.

Florida's current average gas price is about $2.30 per gallon, which is already 54 cents higher than it was one year ago.
