(CNN) — Gasoline prices rose more than 15 cents in the past two weeks, the result of rising crude oil prices, according to a survey published Sunday.

The average national price of a gallon of unleaded gasoline was at $2.6442, the August 7 Lundberg survey found, an increase of 15.83 cents from two weeks ago.

The increase results from a full month of higher crude oil prices, said survey publisher Trilby Lundberg.

“Both oil and gasoline prices are about where they were back in late June,” Lundberg said. However, “as far as pump price hikes, this is probably it for a while, if crude oil stays put,” she said.
