The average U.S. price of regular gasoline hit a record high of $4.17 a gallon Tuesday, according to AAA. The average was $4.06 a gallon on Monday, $3.61 a gallon last Tuesday and $3.45 a gallon one month ago. “Honestly, if we continue on the same trajectory, we could possibly surpass it by the end of the week,” Armbruster said. “It’s unclear at this point when we’ll see price averages fall.”
