Gas prices are continuing to move upward with a gallon of regular at $3.38, up 8 cents from a week ago, the Energy Department’s U.S. Energy Information Administration said today.
The weekly national average increased almost 30 cents from a year ago, and rose for the third consecutive week, adding to predictions that 2012 might be an uncomfortably expensive year for drivers across the country.
Last year was a record year for gas prices but 2012 is forecasted to surpass its annual average. The real annual average for a gallon of regular gas last year hit $3.56, up from $2.90 in 2010, according to the EIA. From its data that begins in 1919, the previous record high was in 1981, at $3.45.
Patrick DeHaan, GasBuddy’s senior petroleum analyst, forecasts that by Memorial Day, the national average will range between $3.86 and $4.13 per gallon. He also predicts that prices in 2012 will come close to or set new all-time highs. If prices soar this year, drivers could spend $200 to $300 more for gas in 2012.
Oil prices, after initially spiking this month because of concerns about Iran’s threat to block exports from the Persian Gulf, fell today, the Associated Press reported. Analysts from Morgan Stanley reported oil producers can bypass the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has threatened to block if countries interfere with its nuclear program.

I use an average 60 gallons of liquid gold every time I take the boat out on the Gulf of Mexico. these prices are killing me. Can we shoot the politicians yet?
I drive 94 miles, round trip, every day to work.
2011 we had the HIGHEST GAS PRICES EVER, in our history.
Frankly, I’m shocked that ABC is even DARING to mention this.
GAS WAS $1.85 per gallon on the day when Imam Hussein Obama was Inaugurated!
I did over 120 per day until I retired at the end of December...I went through new cars like toilet paper, almost...so glad that crap is done with.
The worst part for me: when I was in high school we filled the tank for two bucks.
—I went through new cars like toilet paper, almost...—
That’s my biggest concern. My wife’s 11 year old Chrysler 300M was sideswiped by a large deer about a month ago. She hates driving it now. Mechanically the car is completely undamaged and runs great for a car with 160k miles on it. Really nice interior, too.
So we decided I’d “drive it into the ground” on my commute. Now she drives the Scion xB...

Cause of high gasoline prices = POTUS Barack Hussein Obama!!! NH Democrat voters, vote for “ABO” (Anybody But Obama)!!! Use Hillary Clinton or any other Democrat on the primary ballot!!! You will stun the world and give your Democrat power brokers what they want, to shove Obama over the side!!! A vote for Obama is a vote to destroy America and “your” Democrat Party!!!
Obama is going down. he will not be re-elected, and....he will take a good portion of the Democrat Party with him into the cesspool of forever obscurity!!!
Am glad someone here is optimistic!!
Tagable... OK with you?

Really?? Where? It was over $3.00 when GWB was in office.
I agree.
If only they'd report it. In '08 it was THE big issue. Again, under obama - anything goes. If they media actually criticized his failures, he'd be polling at -50

$4 per gallon gas and his dithering on the XL pipeline that will cause Canada to sell their oil to China should be the end of Barry Sotero’s presidency
These people are lying right through their teeth.
