An outage at the largest inland US refinery has raised gasoline prices in the Midwest ahead of the Labor Day holiday, the final major travel weekend of the country’s peak driving season.
Pump prices in Ohio, Wisconsin and Michigan on Monday were as much as 27 cents higher than a week ago, according to American Automobile Association data. The jump came after BP Plc’s 435,000 barrel-a-day refinery in Whiting, Indiana, shut processing units Tuesday due to rainstorms and flooding in the region. The nationwide US gasoline price rose just 2 cents in the same stretch.
