ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - Gas prices around the globe are expected to increase steadily over the remainder of the summer, but won't return rates in Alaska to previous highs, according to one Alaska oil and gas analyst. Last year, gas prices in Alaska peaked in late June at $5.609 per gallon, almost $1.30 higher than the current average of $4.338. 'I don't expect any relief at the pump in the next few weeks,' analyst Larry Persily said. 'It's going to take either a lot [of] new supply that the market doesn't expect, or lower demand to affect those prices at the pump.
