PRICE OF GASOLINE INCREASED SLIGHTLY

Gasoline prices made a seasonal rise over the past two weeks, gaining 2.35 cents a gallon on average as spring vacation drivers took to the road, concluded a survey released Sunday.

The Lundberg Survey of 13,000 gas stations nationwide completed Friday put the national average price for a gallon of gas at 113.31 cents. The amount includes all grades of gas, types of service, and all taxes.

Price rises were especially higher in the Midwest, said survey head Trilby Lundberg.

The average wholesale posting for a gallon of gas, not including rebates and other price breaks, was 75.35 cents a gallon for the same two-week period, a 3.5 cent increase over the last survey, she said.
