Average retail gasoline prices in Fresno have risen 11.6 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $4.25/g yesterday. This compares with the national average that has fallen 3.3 cents per gallon in the last week to $3.73/g, according to gasoline price website FresnoGasPrices.com.

Including the change in gas prices in Fresno during the past week, prices yesterday were 12.3 cents per gallon higher than the same day one year ago and are 11.4 cents per gallon higher than a month ago.
