Increase gas demand nationally has led to rising costs. The average price for a gallon of gas in San Luis Obispo County increased two cents during the past week to $4.84, according to figures from AAA.

“Despite the messy West Coast weather, a mild winter elsewhere in the nation may have led to more drivers getting behind the wheel,” according to AAA. “If demand remains robust, drivers will likely see pump prices increase through the weekend.”

While prices in California increased slightly, the United States saw a larger increase in costs. The average price of gas in California rose two cents during the past week to $4.44 a gallon. The national average gas price increased 14 cents to $3.41 a gallon during the past week.
