Gas prices up another 7 cents

PROVIDENCE – Gasoline prices just keep rising.

They’re up an average of seven cents per gallon since last week, on the heels of the eight-cent increase last week over the previous week, according to AAA Southern New England.

In total, gas prices have risen 57 cents per gallon since the middle of February, AAA reports in its weekly survey of gas prices.

Regular unleaded gasoline at the self-serve pump is averaging $2.74 – three cents less than you’ll pay at the full-serve pump, according to today’s survey of gasoline prices around the state.

A year ago at this time, the average price was $2.65.

AAA encourages motorists to shop around for the best price, as prices this week range 10 cents, from a low of $2.69 to a high of $2.79.
