Gas Prices Up For Tenth Day

Gas prices rose again–for the tenth day in a row.  The AAA Fuel Gauge puts the national average price for a gallon of gas at $3.842, up from $3.838 the day before. That is the tenth daily increase in a row. A month ago, the price was $3.538, so the jump over the period is 8.5%. Gas is close to the record high it set in 2008 when the price of a gallon briefly rose above $4. And, the price is already above that amount now in some states. The price in California is $4.350 and $4.014 in New York
