« Lt. Governor Roberts to tout health care proposal | Today | Cicilline joins mayors to stop illegal guns sales » April 14, 2008Hold your horses: Gas hits record high in R.I.We've heard it more than once, gas prices in Rhode Island continue to climb. They've reached a record high -- the highest ever recorded by AAA. According to AAA's weekly survey, self-serve, unleaded gasoline is averaging $3.24 in Rhode Island, 4 cents pricier than last week's average. That price beats the previous record -- set in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina -- by a penny. The prices, however, are not adjusted for inflation. We're still behind the national average of $3.37. Last year at this time, unleaded was averaging $2.79 in the Ocean State. AAA, which conducts the survey weekly, suggests shopping around for the best deals because the prices range from $3.16 to $3.33. You can find current prices online for nearby pumps at AAA's fuel price finder.

In town of Hana on island of Maui, Hawaii regular unleaded gasoline is already $4.55 per gal.

For the rest of us poor slobs the worst is yet to come, prices will keep rising until we are forced to ride bike cycles. R.R.H R.R.H | April 14, 2008 8:27 PM link If the congressmen were not in bed with the oil companies, I wonder what would happen to oil prices. We can cut back on our consumption of gasoline, but somethimg must be done about home heating oil. Henry | April 15, 2008 9:36 AM link Post a commentPlease be civil.
