Regular unleaded gasoline is going for $5.20 a gallon in Gorda, Calif., perhaps the highest in the nation, but the news elsewhere isn't great, with prices soaring to a new national average of $3.2272 a gallon, The New York Times reported this morning.

And The Associated Press reports that that's marginally higher than the previous record of $3.2265 set last May, according to AAA and the Oil Price Information Service.

So, how are we doing in Albuquerque? According to AlbuquerqueGasPrices.com, we're still below the national average.

Today's average price per gallon of unleaded is $3.142, up just a smidgen from yesterday's $3.140, $3.107 a week ago and nearly 70 cents a gallon more than last year's $2.438 a gallon one year ago.

The cheapest gas right now appears to be at three Costco outlets around town and the Economy station at Coors and Fortuna NW -- $3.04 a gallon, according to the bargain-hunter's Web site.

Of course, if you always fly first class and never buy generic, you can always go to the Phillips 66 and 900 Eubank and Lomas NE where the price is $3.19 a gallon, AlbuquerqueGasPrices.com reports.
