As the summer driving season nears, តម្លៃសាំង show no signs of slowing down.

The national average for unleaded gas hit a new high of $4.59 per gallon Thursday, នេះបើយោងតាម ​​AAA ។ For the first time ever, the average price was $4 per gallon or above in all 50 states this week, AAA data shows. Last year at this time, the price was $3.04 per gallon.

Soaring prices for ប្រេង​ឆៅ are largely to blame, the automotive group said. “The high cost of oil, the key ingredient in gasoline, is driving these high pump prices for consumers,” Andrew Gross, a spokesperson for AAA, said in a statement.

• តាមដានតម្លៃឧស្ម័ន។ Apps such as GasBuddy, Gas Guru and AAA TripTik can track down the cheapest price per gallon between gas prices. Even if the difference doesn’t seem like much, it can still add up to hundreds of dollars a year.
• បង់ជាសាច់ប្រាក់។ The price per gallon can be 10 cents to 15 cents more per gallon for credit card transactions.
