The average price for a gallon of regular, self-service gasoline in Utah is $2.08. This is 8 cents higher than AAA's monthly survey on December 13, and 25 cents higher high-er than last year. Prices have increased across the nation in the past month. The national average price of a gallon of regular self-serve gasoline gaso-line is currently $2.32. This is 14 cents higher than last month and 55 cents higher than last year. This increase is partly explained by rise in the price of crude oil, and tax increases in several states have also pushed prices higher. "The price of crude oil remained below $60 for most of November and December, but it is now over $63," said Rolayne Fairclough, AAA Utah spokesperson. spokes-person. "The increase in prices is puzzling because of the high-er-than-normal temperatures and the tapering off of demand due to upcoming scheduled refinery maintenance." According to AAA Utah, which tracks gas prices as a service to consumers, prices have increased throughout the Intermountain West. Prices for regular, self-serve in Idaho have jumped 5 cents to $2.13. Montana's price has increased 4 cents to the current average of $2.18. Wyoming experienced the smallest increase, 1 cent, for a new average of $2.15 a gallon. Colorado motorists suffered suf-fered the largest increase of the Intermountain States. The current cur-rent average price in Colorado is $2.30, a 12-cent increase form last month's survey. Arizona's prices increased 8 cents for a new average of $2.30. Nevada's price jumped 6 cents to the current average of $2.32. California's price increased 7 cents from last month to the new average of $2.36. All of the cities surveyed by AAA saw increased prices except one. St. George motorists enjoyed a 3-cent drop in prices. The current average price in St. George is $2.16 for regular, self-serve gasoline, the average price in Vernal rose 4 cents to $2.11. Moab motorists are paying pay-ing a nickel more this month. The average price in Moab is currently $2.23. The average price in Provo is $2.00, a 7-cent increase form AAA's December survey. Salt Lake City and Ogden motorists both saw average aver-age prices increase 10 cents, the current average price in Salt Lake City is $2.02. The average price in Ogden is $2.03. Logan had the largest increase of the cities surveyed. The current price in Logan is $2.09, a 13-cent increase from December. "The end of the temporary measures that were adopted to ease fuel shortages after the hurricanes may be another reason for the increase in fuel prices," said Fairclough. "These temporary measures include the availablitiy of oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve; relaxed environmental and shipping regulations; and shipments to the U.S. of gasoline gaso-line and oil from emergency stockpiles held by foreign governments." gov-ernments."
