Austin-area gas prices expected to continue climbing in days, weeks following Hurricane Harvey

Since Hurricane Harvey first made land fall last Thursday, the Austin-area average per-gallon gas price has risen 11 cents, according to Gas Buddy. Andrew Lipow, president of Houston-based Lipow Oil Associates LLC, said Texans and those gassing up around the United States can expect fuel prices to jump even further in the coming weeks. “I’m expecting that over the next week, prices will go up 3 cents per gallon every day, and it is going to take the refining system a bit of time to recover,” he said.
