COLUMBUS, Ohio — Retail gasoline prices rose again overnight Monday and are now up nearly 40 percent from the start of the year, while the price for crude Tuesday topped $60 a barrel for the first time since early November.
Just a week ago, drivers nationally paid about 17 cents less for a gallon of gas on average. Crude wavered after hitting $60.08 early Tuesday, but still closed up 35 cents at $58.85 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
