U.S. oil output rose 14 percent to 6.5 million barrels per day in 2012,  a record increase, but you'd never know it from the price at the pump. The national average price of gasoline is $3.69 per gallon and it is forecast to creep higher and could approach $4 by May. (AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes, File)
