U.S drivers face 12-cent hike at the pump

I found this article in the U.S. section of the CNN website at this link http://www.cnn.com/2012/01/08/travel/gas-prices/index.html?hpt=us_c1

1. The survey was published by Trilby Lundberg.

2. The sponsor of the survey was undisclosed in the article.

3. If the survey were conducted by consumers then a result of lower prices would be favored but if sponsored by fuel companies they might favor higher prices.

4. Fuel prices were gathered from thousands of gas stations across the United States and averaged.

5. The results are shown clearly with price listings for many major cities across the country.

6. Graphs were not used for this article.
