US retail gasoline price hits record $2.37/gallon
By Tom Doggett
WASHINGTON, Aug 8 (Reuters) -
The average U.S. retail gasoline price rose 7.7 cents over the last
week to a record high of $2.37 a gallon, the government said on
Monday, as motorists dig deeper into their wallets for the final weeks
of the summer vacation season.
The national price for regular unleaded gasoline is up 49 cents from a
year ago, surpassing the old record of $2.33 set on July 11, according
to a survey of service stations conducted by the U.S. Energy
Information Administration.
Rising pump costs reflect record prices for crude oil, which climbed
to a record $64 a barrel on Monday at the New York Mercantile
Exchange.
