AAA Northeast reports Monday that gas has now jumped 31 cents per gallon in the past month to an average of $2.37.

That's still $1.11 lower than at this time a year ago and 6 cents below the current national average.

AAA says the rapid rise is due to seasonal maintenance at refineries and volatile global crude oil prices.

AAA found self-serve regular selling for as low as $2.08 and as high as $2.55 per gallon.
