month high of $105 a barrel on monday. take a look. the result, higher gas prices, of course. look at the numbers. it shows san francisco an average of .07 a gallon for -- 4.07 a gallon for regular. san jose 4.03. same in oakland. santa rosa 4.01 for a gavel regular. it's not just the increase in gas prices that is hurting our wallets. it's also the trickle-down effect. one gas station owner says higher gas prices actually hurt his business. >> it has a big impact. we make money inside the store not on the gas so when customers don't come to fill up, they don't come inside. >> reporter: so if you have to fill up this morning or in the come days, of course, do be prepared to pay a little more. the price of gas has gone up so

quickly up 5% in the past week. 12% for the year. some analysts say we could see $5 a gallon this summer. >> the reason newt gingrich is saying i'm going to lower gas prices, probably a popular thing. >> i bet all the candidates start to bring that up a little bit. it's sneaky, 3.69, 3.79 -- $4 out of nowhere! lisa washington, thank you. 4:343. all eyes on the start today as it flirts with a milestone. the dow begins the trading day 55 points shy of 13,000. it's a mark that hasn't been reached since before the financial crisis crippled the economy. last week better-than-expected news on the job market and housing industry. it was closed yesterday for the holiday. 4:32. this morning, greece is getting another bailout.
