UNDATED -- Average gas prices in Minnesota have risen two cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.30.

The national average price for gas has risen 4.6 cents averaging $3.47.

Gas Buddy says the jump in gas prices has continued unabated as oil prices continue to push higher, reaching $94 per barrel last week on continued concern over the possible imminent threat that Russia may invade Ukraine.

Gas Buddy says the bulk of the nation is starting the multi-month transition to summer gas, further adding to the rise at the pump.
