Gas prices keep climbing

PROVIDENCE -- The pain at the pump just keeps growing.

Gas prices are up again this week, and getting even closer to the $3 mark.

The state Energy Office says prices are averaging $2.94 for a gallon of regular unleaded, up two cents from last week.

That's 71 cents more than at this time last year -- a 30 percent increase.

A survey by AAA finds gas prices averaging $2.93 a gallon.
