Gas prices sustain record run

Motorist group survey shows average fuel prices at another all-time high; West coast drivers pay the most.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — The nationwide average price of gasoline set another record Friday, according to the closely watched survey conducted for the motorist group AAA.

The average price of regular rose overnight to $3.28 a gallon, according to AAA’s Web site. That’s more than a cent higher than Thursday’s record and was the fourth all-time high hit in as many days.


Regular was $2.972 on average at this time last month and $2.549 a year ago.

Drivers in states in the western part of the country shelled out the most at the pump, led by California’s average of $3.62 for a gallon of gas. Alaska, Oregon, Washington, and Hawaii all had to pay over $3.40 a gallon.
