Gas prices continue to climb

Gasoline prices jumped another four cents per gallon last week and are now within five cents of an all-time high, according to AAA Southern New England.

The average price for a gallon of regular, unleaded gasoline is $3.189 per gallon at the self-service pump, according to AAA's weekly survey.

The price for regular unleaded gasoline has increased 20 cents over the past five weeks, but people driving cars and trucks that take diesel fuel are suffering the most. The price for diesel fuel has increased 65 cents per gallon over the same period, crossing the $4 per gallon mark.

A year ago at this time, drivers were paying $2.579 per gallon for regular, unleaded gasoline.
