Gas price averages increased for less than a dozen states in the last week. However, they were large enough jumps to increase to the national average. At $1.78, today’s average is a penny more expensive than last week, 16 cents less than a month ago and $1.11 cheaper than last year at this time.

The Great Lakes and central region saw double-digit increases in a few states, but the bulk of the country saw decreases of a nickel or less. Price fluctuation will continue across the country in coming weeks, especially as more states re-open and motorists begin driving more.

“As some states begin to re-open businesses, those states will likely see demand increase and pump prices will likely follow suit,” Jeanette Casselano, AAA spokesperson, said in a statement. “Although U.S. gasoline demand has incrementally increased, it remains below 6 million b/d.”
