Unleaded gas prices across the Pacific will spike another 10 cents Saturday, breaking an all-time high for the fifth consecutive week.

In mainland Japan and Okinawa, the Army and Air Force Exchange Service and Navy Exchange will bump mid-grade fuel up to $3.52 a gallon.

Diesel remains high but climbs less than 4 cents a gallon to $3.982 a gallon.

Gas prices in Japan are less than the U.S. average because of a 25 cent-per-gallon Japanese government discount applied at the pump.

In South Korea and Guam, there’s no such buffer, and prices mirror stateside trends.
