The average retail gasoline price for a gallon of regular unleaded in Omaha increased 8.4 cents in the past week, averaging $2.45 a gallon Sunday, according to GasBuddy.com.

The rise compares with the national average that increased 2.5 cents per gallon in the past week to $2.46 gallon, said GasBuddy.com, which conducts a daily survey of 300 gas outlets in Omaha.

Including the change in gas prices in Omaha in the past week, the average price Sunday was 98.1 cents per gallon lower than a year ago and it was 29.4 cents per gallon higher than a month ago, GasBuddy.com said.
