After several months of rising gas prices in Maine and New Hampshire, it looks like we're finally starting to see a break in the trend.

According to GasBuddy, the average price of a gallon of gas in Maine, New Hampshire, and the rest of the country began a steady climb earlier this year, right around the week of February 11th. At that time, gas was around $2.22 a gallon in Northern New England, and $2.28 nationwide. But over the next three months, the prices consistently rose, and by May 4th, prices were the highest they had been since October of last year.
