pebble-size or marble-size fragments, and even farther out there could be a lot of ash fall. >> reporter: as a precaution, the national park around the crated crater has been closed atdefinitely. the ash cloud from the steam explosion could be blown for miles, especially if it reaches up into the jet stream. but aside from the immediate vicinity around the eruption, it's pretty much life as usual here on the big island. elaine? >> quijano: carter evans, thank you. you may have noticed gas prices are on the rise and hitting levels not seen in more than three years. eag oliver tells us what's fueling the pinch at the pump. >> reporter: gas prices nationwide are up a nickel in just the last week. 20 cents in the last month according to a.a.a. these drivers fueling up in new jersey are paying just under $3 for a gallon of regular unleaded. damian woo has been keeping track of the increase. >> it was $54.16 for 18 gallons. i just paid $40 for 13 gallons.
