CAMARILLO, Calif. -- The average U.S. price of regular-grade gasoline jumped 10 cents a gallon over the past two weeks to $2.45.
Industry analyst Trilby Lundberg of the Lundberg Survey said Sunday that a rise in crude oil prices since November is behind the increase.
The price at the pump is 15 cents less than it was a year ago.
The highest average price in the nation is $3.46 a gallon in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The lowest average is $2.07 in Houston.
The average price of diesel went up 5 cents over the same period to $2.70.
