The recent rise in oil prices is translating into higher prices at the pump.

The national average for a gallon of regular unleaded rose 2.1 cents to $2.747 a gallon, according to AAA, Wright Express and Oil Price Information Service. Oil has traded above $82 for two straight days. It was around $77 a week ago.

Motorists are paying about 3 cents more than they were two weeks ago and 18.6 cents more than a year ago.
