[ozymandius]

NEW YORK (Reuters) – The average price for a gallon of gasoline in the United States rose less than a penny in the past two weeks as the economic downturn help to keep a lid on retail prices, according to the Lundberg survey released on Sunday.

The average national price for self-serve, regular, unleaded gasoline was $2.0549 a gallon on April 24, up slightly from April 10 when the average was $2.0481, according to the nationwide survey of gas stations.

The average price remains a whopping $1.42 below year-ago levels, and is far below the all-time high of $4.1124 a gallon set on July 11, 2008.
