R.I. gas prices up another nickel

PROVIDENCE -- If you're out there holiday shopping, you might want to save a few pennies to help cover the cost of your holiday travels.

Gas prices are up again, this time 5 cents from last week.

The state Energy Office says its weekly survey found an average price of $2.36 for a gallon of regular gas.

Prices are averaging 16 cents more than at this time last year.

On the plus side: Home heating oil is averaging $2.42 a gallon, a penny less than this time last year.
