Gas prices continued an upward climb, settling at an average price of $3.59 a gallon, the U.S. Energy Information Administration announced today.
In some places, consumers are already seeing gas prices over $4. Today's weekly gas price average was up 40 cents from a year ago, and up by seven cents from last week.
"I'm expecting the national average to float dangerously close to $4 a gallon," Patrick DeHaan, GasBuddy.com's senior petroleum analyst, told ABC News. DeHaan said that following last week's average price per gallon of $3.53, gas prices are very close to "that psychological $4 mark."
"We are on course to break through $4 nationally," he said. "Some of these major metro areas could hit $4.50 or even higher. This year we may have a run for the money in knocking down the record from 2008."
The peak national average retail price of regular grade gasoline hit $4.114 per gallon on July 7, 2008, according to the EIA.
In 2011, the real annual average for a gallon of regular gas reached $3.56, which was up more than a $1.00 from the 2010 average of $2.90, according to the EIA. The EIA, which has compiled data since 1919, has the previous record high as $3.45 for 1981.

Cars are made for driving
Cars are made for driving, so why would you pay to ship one somewhere?
There are as many reasons to use an auto transport company as there are vehicles to be shipped. Maybe you bought your dream car on eBay – but you're in South Carolina and the car is in San Francisco. Perhaps you landed your dream job in San Francisco, but your car is parked at your parents' house in Nashville. Or maybe you just don't have the time to spend on a cross-country drive.
An auto transport company is a great solution in these – and many other situations
