The price at the pump is being felt in our wallets.
Crude oil prices were down a bit Monday. But on Friday they hit an all-time high of $75 a barrel.
Energy experts say we could see $4 to $5 a gallon by July. They blame supply problems on Iran and refineries making the change over to summer fuels.
AAA says the national average for a gallon of gasoline is now $2.91. That's up a quarter from just two weeks ago.
In New York motorists are paying $3.08 a gallon. That’s one of the highest prices in the country.
In Massachusetts drivers are paying $2.89 to fill up. In Vermont they are shelling out $2.88.
Congress is calling on President Bush Monday to investigate possible price gouging at the pump.
