LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – Get ready for sticker shock at the pump once again.

The latest Lundberg Survey shows gas prices are up about 12 cents a gallon since late January.

The average price in the U.S. is $3.51 a gallon. Here in Louisville the average price is $3.43 a gallon.

Experts said gas prices are up because of an increase in the price of North Sea oil.

Lundberg predicts gas prices could go up a few more pennies in the weeks ahead.
