The national average went up 6.5 cents per gallon in the last week to $2.53. It’s 3.8 cents per gallon higher than last month, and 32 cents per gallon higher than a year ago.
GasBuddy says oil prices hitting a new high, a major pipeline leak, and a robust demand for gasoline so late in the season contribute to the higher prices.
