LONG BEACH, NY —If you think gas prices are higher in recent weeks, it's not your imagination. The average price on Long Island has been surging, according to AAA Northeast. A month ago, it was $4.18 per gallon. But the trend has been going in the wrong direction. Last week, it jumped to $4.35 per gallon across the island. By May 9, the price for regular gasoline soared to $4.55, AAA said. It makes finding the cheapest gas stations even more imperative.
