NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. average gasoline prices should hit an all-time peak on Tuesday and may break $4 a gallon in some areas this summer, battering consumers already reeling from high energy costs, according to travel and auto group AAA.
Monday's surge in crude to near $108 a barrel should be enough to lift gasoline prices averaging $3.222 a gallon now above the current record $3.227, said Geoff Sundstrom, AAA fuel price analyst.
"I would anticipate we'd hit a new record price tomorrow," said Sundstrom. "It's primarily due to the crude price."
Hawaii already went over $4.00 per gallon.
I spent almost $70.00 filling up yesterday. This summer is going to suck.
