THE SKIES THE LIMIT - Low Test Gas Over $1.90 A Gallon

(04/15/2004)

Gas prices have hit an all time high this week in Calhoun and West Virginia. Prices have increased about fifteen cents a gallon during the past week. The price of regular gasoline rose to at least $1.89 per gallon today at most Mountain State gas stations. The national average is holding at $1.78, although it is expected to increase. Low test in Grantsville was over $1.90 a gallon yesterday evening. Speedy Mart in Arnoldsburg was still selling low test at $1.80, but indicated the price would increase with the next load. The "Y" Mart reportedly had gas at $1.90 cents last night. State officials and gas marketers say the jump reflects a nationwide increase in crude oil costs, high consumption by American autos and Opec holding production down.
