Gas prices spike as refinery problems cited
US gas prices surged with the national average reaching 3.67 per gallon, up 34 cents since July 1. Crude price gains and refinery and pipeline outages on the West Coast and Midwest, plus a California fire, are blamed. Analysts note crude markets set on global supply and demand. The rise could pressurize President Obama during the re election, while seasonal factors push pumps higher in late spring and summer.
