石油设备网讯 据道琼斯3月20日消息,自今年1月以来,美国汽油零售价格每加仑上涨了35美分,平均价格达到每加仑2.58美元,同时价格跟踪公司GasBuddy表示,汽油零售价格将进一步上涨。该公司的帕特里克·德汉表示:“这简直就是加油站的疯狂行为。冬季汽油库存过剩为一些州在节后大幅降价铺平了道路,现在随着向更清洁、更昂贵的夏季汽油过渡,供应已经收紧,之前的大幅降价已经烟消云散。”对驾车者来说,更糟糕的是,作为汽油主要成分的原油价格周三跃升至每桶60美元的4个月高点,这将使加油成本进一步上升。

DJ Gasoline Pump Prices Surge as Oil Hits $60
US retail gasoline prices are 35c a gallon higher since January, averaging $2.58/gallon, and price-tracking firm GasBuddy says further price increases are coming. "It's been nothing short of madness at the pumps," GasBuddy's Patrick DeHaan says. "Excess inventory of winter gasoline paved the way for deep discounts in some states after the holidays, and now with the transition to cleaner, more expensive summer gasoline underway, supply has tightened, and those previous deep discounts have vaporized." Making matters worse for drivers, prices for crude oil--the main constituent of gasoline--jump to a four-month high of $60 Wednesday, which will make the cost of a fill-up even more.
