Prices climbed in all regions except the West Coast, with gains led by a 2-cent rise to $1.541 a gallon in the Rocky Mountains region, the government said in a weekly report. Fuel in the Central Atlantic region rose 1.7 cents to $1.522, and Gulf Coast prices rose 1.3 cents to $1.447
The nationwide average, for the week ended Monday, was the highest since the week ended April 28, when it was $1.557 a gallon.
The price, based on a survey of about 900 filling stations in 50 states, still was down 12% from a record $1.728 in March, government data showed.
