Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Gasoline futures surged nearly 7 percent today on word of a large refinery snag, marking an almost 50-cent-per-gallon increase over the past month that is sure to send pump prices higher.
"We are looking at retail prices that will soon be above $2.50 gallon nationally, and could perhaps eclipse the $2.60 per gallon" level, said analyst Tom Kloza at Wall, N.J.-based Oil Price Information Service.
