ATLANTA (CNN) - Gas prices rose more than a nickel during the past two weeks, the first rise in about three months, a national survey said Sunday.

The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular was $1.85 in the Jan. 21 survey, up 5.27 cents since the Jan. 7 survey, said Trilby Lundberg, publisher of the Lundberg Survey.

The rise reversed a 25-cent decline that began Oct. 22, when the price had risen to $2.04.

Crude oil prices have been rising during the past two weeks, and prices at the pump have been following them steadily, Lundberg said.

"Traders have been bidding up prices on supply concerns," she said.

OPEC cut production Jan. 1 and is considering another cut at its Jan. 30 meeting in Vienna, she said.

The cartel has explained the cuts as necessary to avoid a price crash after the second quarter, when world demand for oil typically falls, and to compensate themselves for the lower value of the U.S. dollar, Lundberg said.

The cartel's insistence on holding its meeting the same day that elections are scheduled to be held in Iraq -- a major world supplier of oil -- has added to traders' nervousness about the oil supply, Lundberg said.

Drivers in Cheyenne, Wyo., paid the least, at $1.70 per gallon of self-serve regular; and drivers in Honolulu paid the most, at $2.32 per gallon.

Here are the prices of a gallon of self-serve regular in some other cities: Albuquerque, N.M., $1.71; Denver: $1.73; Dallas: $1.78; Atlanta: $1.80; Boston: $1.86; Philadelphia: $1.89; Cleveland: $1.91; Los Angeles: $1.93; Des Moines, Iowa: $1.83.
