6 Month High for Oil

Light, sweet crude for July delivery rose 78 cents, or 1.3%, to settle at $62.45 a barrel Tuesday.

That's the highest settle price since Nov. 5, and the fourth day in a row that oil has settled above $60...

The national average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline increased to $2.425, up 1 tenth of a cent from the previous day's price of $2.424, according to a daily survey by motorist group AAA.

In the last 28 days, the average price of gas has jumped 37.7 cents or 18.4%. The average price of a gallon of gas is still down $1.68 or 41% from the record high price of $4.114 that AAA reported on July 17, 2008.
