Gas Prices Take Record Jump
The Associated Press
Sunday, August 24, 2003; 6:37 PM
CAMARILLO, Calif. - Supply shortages pushed average
retail gasoline prices up more than 15 cents a gallon
nationally during the past two weeks, the largest
retail price hike on record since the Lundberg Survey
began keeping records 50 years ago.
...
Phoenix had the highest leap in the nation during the
two-week period, with prices jumping 60.42 cents a
gallon for self-serve regular. On Aug. 22, self-serve
regular averaged $2.1425, the highest price in the
nation for that grade.
By comparison, the lowest price for that grade was in
Charleston, S.C., where the average for self-serve
regular was $1.4920.
...the reopening of the pipeline and the end of the
blackout means gas prices should fall thanks to the
traditional decline in demand in September and an
influx of imported gasoline attracted by the current
high prices...
