The increases come amid rising demand, which has been fueled by a number of factors including rising inflation and transportation costs, according to AAA officials. Data from the Energy Information Administration indicates that domestic gas demand decreased slightly from 9.04 million barrels per day last week to 8.81 million barrels per day this Wednesday. Typically, lower demand would contribute to lower prices, but rising oil prices have had the opposite effect.
