Mobil also raised its Supreme fuel from $6.01 per gallon to $6.11 while diesel is now $5.93 per gallon.<\/p>\n<p>Members of the community are no longer fazed by the recent increase in fuel prices.<\/p>\n<p>According to a 28-year-old local motorist, she said she hadn\u2019t noticed that prices went up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t notice until you mentioned it. I feel like increases have been normalized that it doesn\u2019t faze me. Maybe if it\u2019s a $1 increase, then maybe I\u2019ll feel it but right now, not really,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Another motorist said that he hopes that prices don\u2019t get too unaffordable given the economy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone is struggling, the last thing we need is gas prices costing an arm and a leg. Gas is a necessity and we can\u2019t make a living without it. I really hope it maintains affordable at least,\u201d said the 24-year-old.<\/p>\n<p> <figure style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/imgupload\/8988465d8bb49b6bda2f517c6f3dcaa3.jpg\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><\/p>\n<p>Shell Marianas raised its prices over the weekend<\/p>\n<p>-KIMBERLY B.
