U.S. Gas Prices Jump Due to Rise in Crude Oil, Survey Shows

The recent move up in oil prices is translating to higher prices at the gas pump. The average price of a regular gallon of gas jumped $0.13 in the past two weeks to $2.20. Industry analyst Trilby Lundberg said Sunday that a rebound in the price of crude oil caused the run-up at the pump. However, the price is $1.10 below the mark a year ago. San Francisco continued to have the highest-priced gas in the Lower 48 states at $2.59 a gallon. The low average was in Tucson, Arizona, at $1.82. Lundberg says pump prices could climb as much as a dime in the near future, unless oil prices show significant declines.
