Retail gasoline prices rose 1.8 cents a gallon today, the largest one-day increase since July 17, according to AAA. Prices rose on concerns a military strike in Syria could affect oil shipments from the Middle East. With the upcoming Labor Day holiday the national average was $3.56 for a gallon of regular gasoline. It was $3.53 last week.
