CAMARILLO, Calif. (AP) – The U.S. price of gasoline increased nearly 10 cents a gallon during the past three weeks, but remains well below year-ago prices.

The lowest price for gasoline in the U.S. was found in Newark, N.J. at $1.83 a gallon. The highest was in Anchorage at $2.40.

The lowest price in California was $2.30 a gallon in Stockton and the highest was $2.33 in San Diego.
