Get ready for the most expensive driving season in years

Get ready for a little bit more pain at the pump this summer.

Crude oil prices are at the highest level in more than three years and expected to climb higher, pushing up gasoline prices along the way.

The U.S. daily national average for regular gasoline is now $2.81 per gallon. That's up from about $2.39 per gallon a year ago, according to Oil Price Information Service. And across the U.S., 13 percent of gas stations are charging $3 per gallon or more, AAA said last week.

"This will be the most expensive driving season since 2014," said Tom Kloza, global head of energy analysis for Oil Price Information Service.

The GOP is in the White House so gas is going up and will continue to do so. A hidden tax on the working people of the country not only in their commuting and leisure driving, but in the costs of everything we purchase, because nothing gets to a store shelf without it having first been on the back of a truck.
