Thanks to a glut of oil that has spurred refiners to make as much fuel as they can, pump prices nationwide are down about 26 cents a gallon from a year ago, which is translating into almost $80 million a day in savings for U.S. drivers, according to Michael Green, a spokesman in Washington for AAA.

CAMARILLO, Calif. (AP) — The average price of gasoline in the U.S. is up by over half a cent to $2.17 a gallon for regular grade.
 
Industry analyst Trilby Lundberg said Sunday higher crude oil prices are causing refiners and retailers to bump up their prices.
 
Still, the average price is 54 cents lower than a year ago.
 
The Lundberg Survey found the average price of midgrade unleaded is $2.46 a gallon, and the average price of premium is $2.67 a gallon.
 
The highest average price for regular gas in the contiguous U.S. is $2.67 a gallon in San Francisco. The lowest is $1.81 in Tucson, Arizona.
 
The U.S. average diesel price is $2.35 per gallon, up a quarter of a penny from two weeks ago.
