The national average for regular gasoline has climbed to between $4.43 and $4.46 per gallon, an increase of 16 to 19 cents from last week. Prices are now more than one dollar higher than one year ago. AAA attributes the climb to high crude oil costs, which average $100 per barrel. Localized price spikes are appearing in Iowa and Greater Cincinnati, where diesel has set a record for nine consecutive days. Analysts warn that further price jumps are expected.
