CAMARILLO, Calif. — U.S. gasoline prices have risen again but at a slower pace.

The average price of regular jumped 3 cents a gallon in the past two weeks to $2.87 a gallon. Analyst Trilby Lundberg says it’s the smallest hike in nine weeks. The average is 82 cents a gallon lower than a year ago.

The highest price in the continental United States was $3.62 in San Diego. The lowest was $2.45 in Tucson, Ariz.

Lundberg says that with a good gas supply and stable crude oil prices, gasoline prices could stop rising and might even drop in the next two weeks.
