Gas prices have been soaring and there is no end in sight. Last night I took this photo when I went to fill up my tank in downtown San Diego. I paid almost $4.50 per gallon of regular unleaded gasoline. It cost over $60 to fill up my gas tank.

Most analysts and experts predict that 2011 prices will break the gas price records set in July of 2008. The US average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gas is $3.84, according to the AAA Fuel Gauge Report. Gas prices have increased 30 cents in the last 30 days. One month ago, gas was averaging $3.54 per gallon.

Gas prices are averaging over $4 per gallon in several cities across the US. According to GasBuddy.com, gas price averages have topped $4 per gallon of regular gas in 27 cities.
