By Ryan Sachetta (Bloomberg) -- Avg price for regular gasoline at U.S. pumps
rises 5.83c to $2.2580/gal, according to Lundberg Survey Inc.
* Survey by Camarillo, Calif.-based co. conducted Dec. 16,
based on information collected at ~2,500 filling stations * Highest avg U.S. retail price: $2.68/gal in San Diego * Lowest avg U.S. retail price: $1.99/gal in El Paso, Texas * Long Island, N.Y.: $2.37/gal * Current price is +19.58c compared with this time last year * “A couple cents of this hike comes from small improvements
in business margins for U.S. refiners and retailers, which
have been historically skinny,” Trilby Lundberg, president
of Lundberg Survey, says in phone interview. “The world oil
market does not apparently see the OPEC agreement as having
a dramatic effect on world crude supply.”
