AAFES gas prices leap more than 14 cents

Oh, January. Was it that long ago that regular AAFES gas cost just $3.142 a gallon in Germany?

What heady days those were. On Saturday that same gallon will run you $4.146.

A ninth straight week of skyrocketing U.S. pump prices will drive the Army and Air Force Exchange prices up more than 14 cents a gallon this weekend in Germany and the United Kingdom to — surprise, surprise — more new records.

And the worst still may be to come.

In early May, the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s analysts predicted prices would peak in June with a monthly average of $3.73 a gallon for regular. Well, May averaged $3.765 in the U.S., so one part of that prediction at least is already wrong.
