Price of gas, diesel continue to remain high across United States

The cost of gasoline per gallon has dropped about 5 cents over the past week or so. That's hardly a dent in the harm being put into everyone's debit or credit card when they fill up their cars.

Since the start of the war, the average cost of a gallon of regular unleaded ranged from $3.48 to $3.59, then to $3.79, to far over $4. As of Wednesday, it was at $4.43 per AAA, after being below the $4 threshold for most of the summer.

Diesel fuel prices also are seeing a huge spike. Some truckers have decided to park their rigs because of the cost, which has reached more than $8 a gallon in California.
