( CNN ) -- After plummeting for three months , gas prices are working their way back up , according to a survey published Sunday . The average price of a gallon of regular is $ 3.32 , up more than 6 cents from three weeks earlier , the Lundberg Survey found . Over 11 weeks between October and late December , the average dropped 58 cents a gallon . Crude oil prices have jumped , triggering higher prices at the pump , said publisher Trilby Lundberg . `` Refiners have passed through only about half of the price hike that they received . So if crude oil prices stay approximately where they are , we will see a few more cents at the pump -- maybe 5 or 6 cents ( per gallon ) in the coming days . '' Demand is generally lowest in January , so it is not expected to be a factor pushing up gas prices any time soon . The current price is about 3 cents lower than it was a year ago . The Lundberg Survey tabulates prices at thousands of gas stations nationwide . The highest average found in the latest survey was in New York 's Long Island , at $ 3.75 per gallon . The lowest was in Salt Lake City , at $ 2.76 . Taxes are part of what causes such difference in prices in different areas . Here are the latest averages in some other cities : . Boston - $ 3.53 . Atlanta - $ 3.35 . Birmingham , Alabama - $ 3.17 . Chicago - $ 3.45 . El Paso , Texas - $ 2.99 . Tulsa , Oklahoma - $ 2.92 . Tucson , Arizona - $ 2.85 . Seattle - $ 3.43 . Los Angeles - $ 3.65 .
