Prices at the pump are once again flirting with record highs. That's adding to inflationary headaches for families, the US economy and the White House.
The national average for regular gasoline rose to $4.328 a gallon on Monday, according to AAA. That's a fraction of a penny shy of the all-time high of $4.331 set on March 11.
Gas prices have climbed 13 cents over the past week and stand well above the recent low of $4.07 a gallon.
