Bottom headline: New York TImes
Emmett Lindner reports for the Times:
Since the end of February, the average cost of regular gasoline has jumped 35 percent, according to data from the AAA motor club. [emphasis added]
Seeing gasoline at more than $4 a gallon — when it was below $3 a month ago — could push American drivers to change their spending habits.
“We have this obsession with gas prices because they dictate a lot of ‘Can we drive? Can we do things we enjoy?’ And now some of that is at risk,” said Patrick De Haan, an analyst at GasBuddy, which also tracks fuel prices.
