Sacramento, CA — Gas prices have reversed course, according to the latest report from AAA of Northern California, which tracks gas prices as a service to consumers.

After three weeks of declines, prices have been rising steadily since early February.

Statewide, the average price of a gallon of regular unleaded has increased by 9 cents a gallon in the last three weeks. Drivers now pay an average of 27 cents higher than a year ago.
