The price for unleaded reglular in this area was $4.24 last night — the highest I’ve ever seen — up from $4.19 the day before.

Wholesale gasoline is down 30 cents from a couple days ago, which was its peak. This will show up at the pump if it holds. Gasoline is over $9 in some Alaska villages such as Anaktuvik.
