Gas prices increase for 4th straight week
Gas prices in the state are at the highest they've been since the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, when all-time gas records were set, according to AAA.
For the fourth-straight week, the average price of gasoline has risen, with unleaded averaging $3.14 per gallon; two cents more than last week, and two cents below the national average.
Diesel gasoline in Rhode Island is averaging $3.93 per gallon.
This time last year, unleaded gas averaged $2.56 in Rhode Island, and in September 2005, the average price peaked at $3.23 per gallon.
Here are more details on average gasoline prices now and in the past for the Providence metro area, from AAA.

It's funny I was in Mass. last night and the price for regular unleaded was $3.03 so I think some of the prices are over inflated due to the media.
