Gas prices up 12 cents in 3 weeks
CAMARILLO, Calif. — The average price of regular-grade gasoline has surged 12 cents nationally over the past three weeks, to $2.38 a gallon.
Industry analyst Trilby Lundberg said Sunday the hike mostly results from the gasoline market catching up with rising crude oil costs.
Lundberg said the current price is 33 cents a gallon above what it was one year ago.
Gas in San Francisco was the highest in the continental U.S. at $2.78 a gallon. The low average was in Denver, at $2 a gallon.
