Gas and diesel prices both jumped again this week to record highs as the American economy falters due to higher energy costs.
Higher energy costs are blamed for fueling higher food and consumer good costs in a recent report from Texas A&M University.
Oil reached a high of $112 a barrel last week and some reports predict the price will increase to $150 or more.
The average gasoline price jumped nearly 6 cents to $3.389 a gallon. This is up 51 cents from a year ago at this time.
Diesel prices jumped over 10 cents a gallon to $4.059. This is up $1.182 a gallon from a year ago at this time.
