Gas prices at all-time high

WILMINGTON — Just in time for Thanksgiving gas prices are nearing an all-time high.

The average price at the pump is now more than $3 a gallon nationwide. And it could get worse as we approach one of the busiest travel weekends of the year.

“Surviving Energy Prices” author Peter Buetel said, “It is possible that we could see $4 in April or May. Traditionally, the highest prices we see every year are in April or May, so that’s when I’d be worried about it, not right now.”

At last check average gas prices for a regular tank of gas in our area were $3.09 a gallon.
