The typical 50-cent spring surge in gasoline prices hasn’t happened this year, and American drivers are gearing up for summer road trips as the Memorial Day weekend approaches.
Regular gasoline averaged $2.367 a gallon Tuesday, according to the American Automobile Association -- up just 2.5 cents from Jan. 1 and within 8 cents of the five-year low for the date. The price has stayed in a range of 16.1 cents, from $2.262 to $2.423, versus a year-earlier range of almost 60 cents.
