TOLEDO, Ohio — Gas prices are on the rise again in northwest Ohio.

The average price for a gallon of gas rose 21.2 cents in Toledo last week to $3.87, according to GasBuddy's daily survey of 315 stations in the city. Prices are 8.7 cents lower than a month ago and 64.8 cents higher than a year ago.

The cheapest station in Toledo was priced Sunday at $3.64, while the most expensive was $4.23.

The national average went up 6.2 cents last week to $3.78. The national average for diesel fuel went up 3.4 cents to $5.32.

"Just over half of the nation's 50 states saw gasoline prices rise last week, pulling the national average back up for the time being due to big jumps in the Great Lakes and continued increases in New England and mid-Atlantic states," said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. "For now, the rise in the Great Lakes, brought on by tight supply, has already started to ease, and declines should start again. In the northeastern U.S., prices are likely to inch up a bit more. National diesel supply remains tight, but supplies of diesel did see a slight rise last week. The majority of stations, especially away from the East Coast and Northeast, should have very few issues with diesel supply, though some stations in those regions could see diesel delivery times slip. Brief outages at a limited number of stations are possible, but with refineries continuing to churn out product and maintenance wrapping up, I'm optimistic the situation will improve."
