Gas prices increased for a third consecutive week.
According to AAA, the national price for unleaded gas went up 8 cents from last week to $2.22 per gallon.
Despite the increase, the national average is still 40 cents lower than it was one year ago.
AAA says an increased fuel demand has pushed oil prices higher.
