GasBuddy: What's Driving the Recent Gas Price Increase?11/10/2025Prices at the gas pump went back up over the past week, rising 14.7 cents per gallon in Fort Wayne and going up 12.4 cents in Toledo. GasBuddy's Head of Petroleum Analysis Patrick De Haan explains:“The national average price of gasoline edged higher last week, with the vast majority of states seeing prices climb. Refinery issues in the Great Lakes and West Coast have kept prices elevated, and gasoline inventory data from the government showed another large weekly drop in supplies, which has temporarily propped up prices. With thousands of flight cancellations ahead of Thanksgiving due to the FAA flight cuts, there could be slight shifts in gasoline demand, which may limit any near-term declines.” -Patrick De Haan
