$4-a-gallon gas likely this spring, analysts say
http://www.cnn.com/2012/01/19/travel/spring-gas-prices/index.htmlNew York (CNN) -- Get ready to pay $4 or more at the pump this spring: Analysts say gas prices could hit a record high.
Fred Rozell, retail pricing director at Oil Price Information Service, says he expects the national average for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline to reach $4 to $4.25 per gallon for regular gasoline when the market peaks, sometime in between April and early May.
Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy.com, projects the national average could hit between $3.75 and $4.15 at some point in May.
Both predictions indicate that consumers could pay record high prices within the next few months. The all-time high for the national average, according to AAA, stands at $4.11, reached in the summer of 2008.
