Gas prices hit their highest average ever recorded in the United States, eclipsing the previous record set just before the 2008 recession.

GasBuddy reported Monday the average cost rose to $4.103, just above the record of $4.10 per gallon set about 14 years ago. This past weekend, the national average surpassed $4 for the first time since the 2008 U.S. recession and housing market crash. 

On Friday alone, the average went up by 16 cents, nearly matching another record for single-day increases. Over the past seven days, the average was up 49.1 cents per gallon.

The cost of diesel is also approaching a new record, sitting at $4.63 per gallon. The current record is $4.846.
