(Undated) - Gas prices have hit a record high.
According to AAA, the highest recorded average price for regular unleaded gasoline was recorded on Tuesday at $4.37 per gallon.
By comparison, the average price for regular unleaded gasoline was $2.96 a year ago.
Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio have also seen record high gasoline prices as of Tuesday.
- Indiana: $4.32
- Kentucky: $4.09
- Ohio: $4.17
The increase in gas prices is primarily due to the high cost of crude oil, which is at $102 a barrel as of Tuesday morning.
“With the cost of oil accounting for more than half of the pump price, more expensive oil means more expensive gasoline,” said Andrew Gross, AAA spokesperson. “These prices are creeping closer to those record high levels of early March.”
