Gas Costs Continue to Rise

Penny by penny, gasoline prices continue their slow, midsummer rise back toward where they were in late spring.

In the East Bay, the average price for a gallon of regular unleaded is now $3.80, according to a California State Automobile Association website.

That's three cents more than they were a week ago. However, it's still 10 cents lower than they were a month ago.

This is the second straight week gas prices have inched up at the pumps after falling throughout the month of June.

It's a similar story across California. The average price for unleaded regular is also $3.80 a gallon. That's 2 cents more than last week and 11 cents less than in mid-June.

Prices in East Bay communities are hovering in that price range.

Gas prices in Newark are right around the average, with the cheapest cost per gallon of unleaded gas listed at $3.71.
