Aug. 22, 2005, Findlay, Ohio – Dr. Shiv Gupta, professor of marketing and economics at The University of Findlay, says that drivers can expect to see the price of a gallon of gas continue to rise.

According to Gupta, gas prices may go over $4 per gallon in coming months, but stay below $5. “Gas prices will continue to rise. All indicators show that the price may stabilize between $3 and $4 per gallon,” Gupta explained. He also predicted that the days when a gallon of gas cost $1.50 are over.

Gupta added that to help stabilize gas prices, the Federal Government should start withdrawing gas from emergency reserves. However, he does not believe that this is a step the government will take.
