The average price for a gallon of gas in Alabama rose 4.5 cents over the past week, up to an average of $3.25 a gallon as of Monday, according to GasBuddy ‘s survey of 3,348 gas stations in Alabama.

That’s 6 cents a gallon higher than this time last month and 16.4 cents a gallon higher than this time last year.

Nationally, prices fell 1 cent over the past week, down to an average of $2.62 a gallon as of Monday. The national average price of diesel dropped 3.4 cents over the past week, down to $3.94 per gallon.

“We’ve seen the national average fade slightly again as oil prices have cooled and our spring peak appears to be more confidently behind us,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “A weaker than expected jobs report is adding to some concerns that gasoline demand could remain weak through the summer driving season, which is just a few weeks from beginning. With the seasonal factors behind us, looking ahead, we expect gasoline prices to continue cooling alongside diesel prices as we look forward to Memorial Day weekend.”
