Analysts say gas prices are dangerously close to the country's all-time high.

According to AAA, gas prices have spiked 19 cents over the past three weeks.

The Lundberg survey shows the national average for a gallon of regular is now $3.76.

Here in the city, the average price sits at $3.99 -- up nearly a dollar since this time last year.

New Yorkers are faring better than residents in San Francisco, where gas is at $4.13 a gallon, the highest in the country.

The lowest is in Tucson, Arizona, at $3.41 a gallon.

Cabbies and other drivers who spoke with NY1 say the high prices are hurting their bottom line.

"It's killing us because [the Taxi Limousine Commission] will not give us a raise and also will not give us a break for it so I guess we have to coup the difference, maybe $10 or $15 every day," said a cab driver.

"At a certain point it's going to cause everybody to start readjusting their driving habits. It's certainly going to start getting people thinking about alternative fuels and be more serious," said a driver.

Rising gas prices are also hurting sales. One Manhattan gas station employee tells NY1 his station has been losing about $4,000 a day for the last several months.

"Because of gas our inside store sales is going down, because people come less and put in less gas," said Neel Seth, the employee.

Analysts say with the turmoil in the Middle East and the summer driving season almost here, drivers should not expect prices to go down anytime soon.

MasterCard, which tracks spending at 140,000 gas stations across the country, says gas sales have fallen for five weeks in a row.
