FONTANA, CA – MARCH 04: Trucks travel the I-210 freeway before dawn as prices for diesel and gasoline continue to rise and the cost of crude oil soars to a record high of more than $100 per barrel March 4, 2008 near Fontana, California. The price of crude hit the highest figure ever this week at $103.95 a barrel. The statewide average of $3.499 for a gallon of self-serve unleaded, along with the new record San Francisco average of $3.643, months before the peak driving season is fueling speculation of $4.00 a gallon unleaded by the end of Summer. The national average of $3.168 is six cents shy of an all-time high. (Photo by David McNew/Getty Images)
