The average price for a gallon of regular gasoline in the U.S. has gone up in the past week after declining for nearly 100 days in a row during the summer driving season.
The price was $3.417 a gallon, according to AAA.
The price was up to $3.381 per gallon from $3.674 on Wednesday morning, making it five days of increases that began on Wednesday morning.
The average price for a week was $3.678. It was $3.188 a year ago.
At the time, the U.S. crude was about $120 a barrel and the benchmark international price was even higher. Oil prices, which account for over half of what consumers pay at the pump, have fallen since.
U.S. West Texas Intermediate WTI crude fell $4.58, or 5.5%, to $78.91.
For the week, the WTI was down 7%, the fourth week in a row of declines for the benchmarks, the first time this has happened since December.
It is not uncommon to see wild price swings and oil impacted during the hurricane season, with a storm expected to hit the Gulf and the coast of Florida this week.
