WASHINGTON, July 11 (Reuters) - The average price U.S. drivers pay for gasoline climbed 10.2 cents over the last week to a new record of $2.33 a gallon, the government said on Monday.

The old record pump price of $2.28 a gallon was set in mid-April, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The new record price is up 41 cents from a year ago, based on the EIA's weekly survey of service stations.

When adjusted for inflation, the record pump price would be around $3.12 a gallon from March 1981.

In the weekly EIA survey, the West Coast had the most expensive regular unleaded gasoline, with the price up 6.8 cents at $2.48 a gallon. San Francisco was at the top of the agency's survey of cities, with the price of gasoline up 5.6 cents at $2.58.
