Gas prices rose 4.4 cents over the last week, the average on Monday, landing at 388 per gallon.
This is 10.3 cents higher than a month ago and $1.06 per gallon higher than this time last year.
The national average has risen 7.7 cents over the last week, averaging 402 on Monday.
Gas-buddy officials say prices rose in more states than they fell due to the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz and ongoing Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries.
These attacks are impacting refined product prices more than crude oil itself.
Officials at GasBuddy say the seasonal transition to cheaper winter blend gasoline could bring some relief in the coming months.
However, these geopolitical tensions could keep upward pressure on the market.
