Gasoline Hits Highest Price Since October

Gasoline prices have climbed past $3.60 a gallon nationally for the first time since October in the government's weekly price survey.

The price of a gallon of regular unleaded stands at $3.611 in the survey released today, up 7.3 cents a gallon from a week ago and 3.6 cents from the same week last year, the Energy Informational Administration reports.

Gas prices have steadily climbed since they hit a low of $3.254 for the week of Dec. 17. They haven't hit $3.60 a gallon since Oct. 22, the EIA pricing history shows.

Prices typically climb as the nation comes into the spring driving season, but as the weather attests, we're still a long ways off.
