Gas prices reach record U.S. average!

How long will it be before gas reaches $5 - $6 a gallon? And contrary to what many are saying, the issue is a little more complicated and troubling than the notion that U.S. oil companies are simply being greedy. We have an emerging energy supply problem that the whole world, including our own federal government, must work with energy suppliers to address.

Gas reaches record U.S. average of $3.18

The average price of self-serve regular gas hit a record of $3.18 a gallon, rising more than 11 cents in two weeks, accroding to a national survey released Sunday.

That topped the record of $3.07 set two weeks ago and the previous inflation-adjusted record of $3.15 in March 1981, said the Lundberg Survey of 7,000 gas stations.

The lowest average for regular fuel was $2.87 in Charleston, S.C.; the highest was $3.59 in Chicago.
