Prices are up three cents a gallon both in Oakland now at $5.87, and in San Jose where the cost is $5.85 a gallon.
Nationally, the average price per gallon is $4.24. AAA says that the price is actually going down, dropping two cents since last Monday. There's also decreasing demand nationally which is contributing to price decreases.
The steady increase in the price of oil is slowing that decline. If oil prices continue to rise, pump prices will likely follow suit.
