Kentuckians are paying more for gas these days. Lori Weaver Hawkins, the public affairs manager for Triple A Bluegrass, said they’ve shot up about 30 cents over the last month, to an average of $3.11 a gallon for regular grade. She said one factor is the B-P refinery fire in Indiana in early February.
“We thought everything was going to be fine with that, it was back online. But then they needed to do some work and some inspections to make sure they have everything taken care of there. And so that was shut down for a couple of weeks.”
