R.I. gas prices soar to just under $4 per gallon
Gasoline prices increased another 16 cents in Rhode Island last week, leaving the average price for self-serve regular just a few cents under the $4 mark, according to AAA Southern New England.
The average price for a gallon of regular, unleaded gasoline is $3.969 at the self-service pump, according to AAA's weekly survey.
The price has climbed 38 cents over the past four weeks.
A year ago at this time Rhode Islanders were paying $3.089.
Rhode Island drivers are paying 3 cents more per gallon than the national average.
Drivers of cars and trucks that use diesel fuel are feeling even more pain. Diesel has jumped another 22 cents to $4.89 per gallon.

We are in big trouble, God bless this country! Why isn't anyone doing something about these gas prices? We are spending hundreds of billions of dollars fighting a war to liberate one of the most oil rich countries and yet we still are paying the highest prices! Someone help!!!!!
