Gas up in R.I. for 10 straight weeks, hits $4.019 high

Gasoline prices in Rhode Island have risen for the 10th straight week, surpassing the $4 mark by nearly 2 cents, to yet another ecord high, according to AAA Southern New England.

The average price for a gallon of regular, unleaded gasoline is $4.019 at the self-service pump, up five cents from last week, according to AAA's weekly survey.

Rhode Island hit an average of $4 per gallon Thursday, and the Ocean State is now among 13 states averaging at least $4 per gallon, AAA says.

The price has climbed 88 cents the beginning of the year.

Read a Journal report last week on the impact of $4 per gallon gas in Rhode Island.
