Refinery outages push US gas prices higher
Original: gas
US gas prices are rising, with Federal Reserve officials saying refinery outages are pushing prices up more than the cost of crude oil itself. In response to cost pressures, a 41-cent fuel tax has been suspended through Thanksgiving in one US jurisdiction. The price increases come as consumers face elevated costs at the pump heading into the holiday travel season.
Why now: Rising fuel costs ahead of the holiday season are affecting drivers and drawing policy responses.
