(KERO) — Gas prices continue to creep back up. Triple-A is reporting the national average price for a gallon of unleaded gas is now $3.39. That's up about 20 cents from just a few weeks ago.

It's still lower than the record-high prices we faced last summer. But consumer analysts expect the average cost of gas to keep rising as we get closer to February.
