Need2Know Headlines

Meanwhile, gas prices in the US have climbed to their highest level in 10 months as the national average hit $3.85 a gallon yesterday. According to AAA, this is the highest level since October 19th of last year. While the average is only up two cents from the previous week, it's a 20 8% climb from the previous month and a 32 cent hike since the July 4th holiday weekend. Part of the reason for the increase in gas prices is both Russia and Saudi Arabia cutting supply as well as extreme weather and intense heat, affecting refineries here in the United States.
