It's going to cost you even more for a fill-up today. AAA this morning reports the price of gas at a national average of a little more than $3.77 for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline. Premium gas is a whopping $4.15 a gallon.

The new average beats the price this time last year by about 68 cents a gallon. The price is expected to climb at least until the Memorial Day weekend.

The Energy Department forecast recently that prices would top out next month at an average of $3.73 a gallon. Many analysts now expect the national average to hit $4.00 a gallon in the coming weeks.

Meantime, the price of crude oil Thursday has steadied above $124 a barrel. Crude prices slipped from record highs following a mixed report from the government Wednesday on U.S. petroleum reserves.

People are sppiled. Figure out the price of water at 1.49 for 20 ounces. Compare that to something that comes out of the ground, shipped half way around the world, refined and transported across the country. And we have first use water. Think about it.

And the prices in Colorado are higher than shown by all the surveys since we have to purchase "Mid-Range" fuel to get the same octane rating as the rest of the county's "Regular" grade.
