Going up: High crude oil prices push up fuel prices across the board

Spring is here. Want to hit the road?

It will cost you. Gas prices are up more than 10 cents locally in the past week.

Jetting out of town? Fares are rising. Low-cost airlines Southwest and JetBlue, among others, have announced ticket hikes on several routes.

Going Greyhound? The big bus company has nudged some prices north.

If you’re sensing a trend here, you’re right. The price of traveling is steadily rising. And the main culprit is oil.

“It’s all about the fuel,” said Marilee McInnis, a Southwest spokeswoman.
