(09/20/2012) |
Gasoline prices at the pump continue to rise across the Mountain State. In Calhoun, the price has jumped at some stations above the $4 gallon mark. The weekly Fuel Gauge from AAA East Central shows the average price for a gallon of regular, unleaded gasoline rose nearly four cents over the past week. In West Virginia the increase at some stations has been six cents or more. That's about 34-36 cents higher than gas prices in the state a year ago this week and higher than the national average of about $3.80 cents. Prices in Huntington and Parkersburg is $3.89 average The reason analysts are giving, shortages in production in southern refineries damaged by the hurricane. |
