R.I. gas prices up, by 2 cents

PROVIDENCE -- Gas prices are up slightly this week from last week, to just under $3 a gallon.

The average price of a gallon of self-serve, unleaded gas was $2.99, according to a survey by AAA of Southern New England. That's 2 cents more expensive than last week.

State energyy officials say home heating oil is running about $2.61 per gallon.

Crude oil futures haven't fluctuated much today, as the market shrugs off earlier concerns about the potential impact of the first named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season.
