Gas prices increase 4 cents

Gas prices increased an average of four cents a gallon in Rhode Island last week, the second straight week of increases, according to AAA Southern New England.

The average price for a gallon of regular, unleaded gasoline is $2.979 at the self-service pump, according to AAA's weekly survey.

AAA attributes the increase to stronger demand and rising crude oil prices.

Rhode Island is eight cents below the national average of $3.059.
