Gas Prices Soar In West Virginia
WEST VIRGINIA....
Oil prices on Tuesday jumped above $90 a barrel for the first time in more than two years, and Wall Street analysts say tightening supplies will eventually send prices above the $100 mark next year. According to AAA's Fuel Gauge, the price of a gallon of self-serve regular gas in West Virginia rose this week about 10.5 cents to about $3.03. That's about 7 cents higher than the national average and 36 cents higher than state prices a year ago. Gas prices range from a low of $2.97 in Huntington to $3.05 in Martinsburg and Morgantown.
