AAA Southern New England said Monday that its latest survey found self-serve regular selling for an average of $2.82 per gallon in the Bay State, up three cents from a week ago.

The average had dipped a penny in last week's survey, but had risen in each of the four previous weeks.

AAA's survey found gas prices ranging from a low of $2.71 to a high of $2.97 per gallon in Massachusetts.
