Gas prices jump 18 cents

Gasoline prices in Rhode Island jumped 18 cents this week, according to AAA Southern New England.

The average price for a gallon of regular, unleaded gasoline is $2.949 at the self-service pump, according to AAA's weekly survey.

It's the highest price Rhode Island drivers have ever paid in November, AAA said.

The price has climbed for three straight weeks, driven by an increase in the price of crude oil, which exceeded $96 per barrel last week.

The average price nationally is $3.00.
