NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Retail gas prices hit record highs for the tenth
day in a row, auto group AAA's Web site showed Saturday.
The nationwide average for a gallon of regular unleaded hit $3.792, up
from
the previous high of $3.787.
Gas prices have now risen for 11 straight days. The pinch on consumers at
the pump comes just ahead of the summer driving season, which kicks off
with
Memorial Day weekend.
The AAA national average shows gas prices up 11% over the past month and
up
nearly 22% from year-ago levels.
Two states have passed the $4 a gallon threshold. According to the AAA,
the
average price for a gallon of gas in Alaska is $4.042.
Connecticut is the second most expensive state to purchase gas in with an
average price of $4.008 a gallon.
The least expensive state for drivers is Arizona, where a gallon of
regular
unleaded will set consumers back $3.565, well below the national average.
The second least expensive state to purchase gas in is Wyoming, where a
gallon of gas averages $3.580.
Retail gas prices have been pushed up by crude oil prices, which have
doubled in the last 12 months.
