Jacksonville gas prices went up an average of two cents a gallon overnight, ending the monthlong streak of steadily declining prices.

According to GasBuddy.com, from February 19th to March 19th, the price for a gallon of regular unleaded gas in Jacksonville fell 17 cents from $3.83 to $3.66.

But early Wednesday morning on the 20th, the average price went up to $3.68, ending the streak.

The national average right now is about a cent lower at $3.67.

Recently oil experts have told WOKV there's a good chance the prices will continue to rise through the spring.

"Traditionally, gas prices rise anywhere from forty to sixty cents a gallon in late March through early May," says expert Patrick DeHaan.  "If that happens this year, it'll easily send the national average over four dollars a gallon."
