Diesel hits record high
Everybody feeling the gas price pinch.

Date published: 11/13/2007

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Triple-A Mid-Atlantic says the price of diesel fuel has hit an all-time high in Virginia, while the average price of regular gasoline is a penny below $3 a gallon.

The organization says the average cost of diesel rose to $3.34 a gallon in Virginia, an increase of more than 32 percent in the last year.

The national average price is $3.45, also a record. Meanwhile, the average cost of unleaded regular gasoline is $2.99 in Virginia and $3.11 nationally. Triple-A says the cost of gas has gone up 35 cents within the last month as the Thanksgiving travel holiday approaches.

Typically, gas prices fall after Labor Day, but they have steadily risen this year.
