UNDATED (WJON News) -- Gas prices are rising with oil prices last week reaching their highest level since July.

Diesel prices have also jumped, driven by cold weather that has boosted heating oil demand.

Average gasoline prices in Minnesota have risen 9.0 cents per gallon, averaging $3.04. The national average price of gasoline has risen 6.5 cents per gallon, averaging $3.09.

The national average price of diesel has increased 8.1 cents in the last week and stands at $3.60.
