prices , across the U.S. Gas prices climbed higher again to end the last week
and are nearing record highs. The increase in gas price was the eighth
consecutive day that the average price of gasoline rose higher in America. As
crude oil continues to price higher, gas price climbs and American anxieties
over how to foot the bill rise as well. Energy Commodity Close Review Today:
