RENO, Nev. (AP) - Nevada gas prices rose 4 cents over the past month to a statewide average of $2.83 per gallon.

AAA Nevada spokesman Michael Geeser says the statewide average is 66 cents higher than at this time a year ago. The national average has increased 12 cents since mid-February, but is still 7 cents cheaper than in Nevada at $2.76.

Geeser says oil prices have been pushed higher partly because refineries are switching to summer blends. Investors also anticipate seasonal increases in travel.

The average in Sparks climbed 13 cents to $2.94, Carson City 11 cents to $2.87 and Reno a dime to $2.93. Elko's price rose a penny to $2.87.

Las Vegas held steady at $2.75. Henderson's average is now $2.76 and North Las Vegas $2.74, both down 2 cents from a month ago.
