Retail gasoline, diesel prices set records

[LICKING COUNTY FAN]

The national average price for regular, self-service gasoline is up 51.3 cents from a year ago because of high crude oil costs, which on Monday traded at almost $112 a barrel at the New York Mercantile Exchange.

The price of crude oil accounts for about 70 percent of the cost for making gasoline.
