7 minutes ago


CAMARILLO, Calif. - Nationwide gas prices hit yet another record in the last three weeks, rising just over one cent to nearly $3.03 per gallon, according to a survey released Sunday.

The national average for self-serve regular stood at $3.025 a gallon Friday, up 1.06 cents since July 21, according to the Lundberg Survey of 7,000 gas stations across the country.

The price exceeds the previous high of $3.015 set in July, analyst Trilby Lundberg said.

A gallon of mid-grade gasoline averaged around $3.13, and premium averaged $3.23.

Nationwide, the lowest price for regular was $2.82 a gallon in Charleston, S.C., while the highest — $3.29 a gallon — was in Chicago.

4. Hmm, but wasn't it a little higher post Katrina?

In my state it was 3.40 then, and I believe it was at least a few cents over $3 nationwide.

5. $2.77 in OKC on Friday

Which is lower than the reported nationwide low of $2.82 in Charleston,SC.

I wonder if the nationwide high is also incorrect?
