The average price of gasoline in the U.S. jumped 2.8 cents overnight to $2.169 for regular Friday, an enormous leap by recent standards, according to USA Today.

The average is up 12.2 cents the past month, after having seemed stuck around $2.

But the sudden move is unlikely to be harbinger of a record year.
