The steady rise of gas prices over the past few weeks continues. A gallon of gas in the metro area is now at an average of $3.59 according to AAA's Fuel Gauge Report.

That is 6 cents higher than yesterday and 20 cents higher than it was a month ago.

Nobody is wasting gas on the roads this morning as we don't have any major traffic delays at this hour. The one incident is a crash on the ramp from southbound Cedar Avenue to Killebrew Drive near the Mall of America in Bloomington.
