Gas prices are continuing to climb and the nation's record price is almost five dollars a gallon. That really does not make sense, that a gallon of gas costs more than a drive-thru meal.
The average price for a gallon of regular gas is now $4.95. In the District of Columbia and about 16 other states, gas is more than five dollars a gallon, and in California it's really ridiculous, with gas being $6.39 a gallon.
