Gas has hit yet another record high. The national average price of regular unleaded is up five cents from yesterday.
It's now $3.88 a gallon. That's 20% more than this time last year.
Meantime AAA says the number of local stations selling $4 gas has nearly doubled just since yesterday! Today at least 45 stations in the Philadelphia five-county area have shot past the four-dollar mark! When Action News checked out prices gas at a Lukoil on West Bridge Street in New Hope was already topping $4.13 a gallon. And at a full serve station in Narberth located on Montgomery Avenue drivers can expect to pay $4.19!
