Lucky Alaska First to Hit $4 Gas

Posted May 15, 08 11:03 AM CDT in Business,  US 

(Newser) – It's here. Alaska has the painful distinction of becoming the first state where gas is selling for an average of $4 a gallon, Reuters reports. The average for the rest of the US is hovering at $3.76, but Connecticut, California, New York, and Illinois could all join Alaska in the $4-a-gallon club after Memorial Day weekend.
