Although drivers are finally getting a little relief at the gas pump, that might not last too long. The national average price of regular unleaded is down to $4.75 per gallon, versus its all-time peak of $5.02, set earlier this summer.

In fact, we could see a new all-time peak if unforeseen problems continue to affect fuel production or delivery.
