Americans are getting some relief on prices at the pump, even as oil climbs back up above $100 a barrel.
Fuel costs surged to a record high last week as the Ukraine war heightened concerns that the conflict might disrupt supplies of oil from Russia, which accounts for about 12% of the global market for crude.
Gasoline prices averaged $4.27 per gallon on Friday, down from a peak of $4.33 on March 11, according to AAA. That price last week shattered the previous high of $4.10 in 2008.
