Gas prices up 9 cents
Gasoline prices jumped an average of nine cents per gallon in Rhode Island last week, according to AAA Southern New England.
It's the second week of price increases after five weeks of falling prices.
The average price for a gallon of regular, unleaded gasoline is $3.109 at the self-service pump, according to AAA's weekly survey.
The price has climbed 12 cents over the past two weeks.
The national average is about three cents higher than what Rhode Islanders are paying.
AAA attributes the increase to the jump in oil prices, now about $100 per barrel.

Rumor has it that prices are just going to continue to rise. I really do hope that as a nation we start to wake up soon and seek for alternatives to foreign oil.
