Drivers heading to the gas pump Tuesday morning will see about a 10-cent jump at many local stations.

The price of a gallon of unleaded gas is averaging $3.19 in Tulsa. It could only be the beginning of an upward slide.

Could we see gas hitting $4 a gallon here in Green Country?

One industry analyst says it could be a chaotic spring with gas prices spiking 60 cents by May.

We checked out QuikTrip, Fiesta Mart and Kum and Go gas stations around town to learn gas has shot up by about a dime.

This could mean bad news for people who are making plans for trips in the near future. Chances are if you're not driving, you're flying to your destination.

Either way travel is going to be more expensive.

USA Today reports gas prices could peak at $4.05 cents this year. Seeing an increase is an annual spring ritual because of seasonal demand.
