Gas Prices Set Record, Oil Dips

[LICKING COUNTY FAN]

.S. retail gas and diesel prices jumped to yet another record Friday, piling on the costs for motorists as well as everyday consumers reliant on trucks, trains and ships to deliver food and other goods to market.

Gas prices at the pump edged higher overnight, adding 0.8 cents to 3.365 a gallon, according to AAA and the Oil Price Information Service. The increase is the latest in a series of records in recent weeks, and leaves drivers paying 56 cents more a gallon now than they did a year ago.
