SPRINGFIELD -- The cost for a gallon of gas has skyrocketed since last month. AAA says it's up about 40 cents. Experts blame a jump in crude oil prices, up about ten cents in last two months. They also say some oil refineries have closed to get ready for summer-blended fuel, putting pressure on supplies.
