The national average retail price for regular gasoline reached another record high Wednesday, sitting at $ 4,955 per gallon. <\/p>\n

That’s 64 cents higher from a month ago and $ 1.89 higher than it was a year ago, according to AAA. <\/p>\n

With fuel demand increasing, oil prices rising and gasoline inventories at their lowest level for this time of year since 2014, gas prices have hit new records daily and are expected to continue to increase, Andy Lipow, president of Lipow Oil Associates, previously told FOX Business. <\/p>\n
