After remaining relatively stable over the first few weeks of the new year, the national average for gas edged higher by three cents this past week to $3.10. Even though demand is lower, slightly higher oil costs are causing gas prices to increase. Today's national average is two cents less than a month ago and 40 cents less than a year ago.

According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gas demand dipped from 8.27 to 7.89 million barrels per day last week. Meanwhile, total domestic gasoline stocks increased by 4.9 million barrels to 253 million barrels. Due to fluctuating oil prices, lower gas demand, and rising stocks, pump price increases have been limited. 

At the close of Wednesday's formal trading session, West Texas Intermediate increased by 72 cents to settle at $75.09. Oil prices rose after the EIA reported that total domestic commercial crude stocks decreased significantly by 9.2 million barrels to 420.7 million barrels.
