Weekly gas roundup: Prices up 4 cents over past week

Average prices for a gallon of gas in Alabama rose 4 cents over the past week, up to an average of $3.14 a gallon Monday, according to GasBuddy‘s survey of 3,348 gas stations in Alabama.

That’s 6.2 cents per gallon higher than this time last month and $1.41 a gallon lower than this time last year.

Nationally, prices fell 1.4 cents per gallon, down to an average of $3.56 a gallon as of Monday. The national average price of diesel fell 3.7 cents over the past week, to an average of $3.85 per gallon.

“It has been a quiet week for the national average, with little overall movement in average gas prices nationally even as oil prices have been a bit unstable. Some states have seen minor increases while others have seen decreases, and the mixed bag is likely to continue for the time being with oil prices a bit all over the place,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “While gasoline demand continues to inch up, we could see additional pressure on pump prices, while the price of diesel continues to see downward movement.”

According to GasBuddy price reports:

• The cheapest gas station in Alabama was priced at $2.49 a gallon as of Sunday
• The most expensive gas station in Alabama was priced at $3.69 a gallon as of Sunday
