Gasoline prices increased one cent in the past week, marking the third straight week that prices have gone up, according to AAA Southern New England.

The average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline is $1.849 per gallon at self-service pumps in Rhode Island, according to AAA's weekly survey.

The price has increased 20 cents over the past three weeks, according to AAA.

Still, Rhode Island drivers are paying $1.20 less per gallon than they were at this time last year.

AAA advises drivers to shop around for the best price. AAA found a 21-cent price range in its survey with the lowest at $1.749 and the highest at $1.959.
