Gas average up to $3.26 a gallon

The nationwide Lundgerg Survey pegs the average gallon of self-serve regular unleaded gas at $3.26 — up 7 cents in two weeks. According to a Reuters report, the price surpassed the previous inflation-adjusted high set last May 18, when gas cost $3.18 a gallon. “Spring demand is awakening, putting pressure on price,” Trilby Lundberg, who compiles the Lundberg Survey, told Reuters on Sunday. “It would take a several dollars’ decline in the price of a barrel of oil to avoid seeing pump prices shoot up from here.” The average price of gas nationwide could soon flirt with $3.50 a gallon, she said, with instances of $4 gas becoming ”increasingly common.”
