WASHINGTON, Sept. 17 (UPI) -- Tuesday is the 1,000th consecutive day that average U.S. retail gasoline prices stayed above the $3 per gallon mark, motor club AAA reports.
AAA said the average retail price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline Tuesday was $3.51. That's about the same as the average reported one month ago but more than 30 cents cheaper than the same time last year.
