Gas prices hit another record high
The price for a gallon of gas jumped to $3.707, trumping Friday's record $3.671 a gallon.
CNNMoney (NEW YORK) -- Retail gasoline prices jumped to yet another record high Sunday, according to drivers' advocacy group AAA's Web site.
The national average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline edged up to $3.707, topping the previous record of $3.671, set on Friday. Gas prices had been hitting almost daily record highs, most recently running up a 17-day streak that ended May 1.
Last week, gas prices resumed their record run as crude oil prices pushed higher.
Drivers now pay, on average, 22% more than they did a year ago, when a gallon of gas cost $3.037, according to AAA.
Crude futures surged above the $126-a-barrel mark for the first time Friday before settling back at $125.96. ![]()
