W.Va. gas prices up slightly this week
HUNTINGTON — West Virginia motorists will pay an extra two cents for a gallon of gas this week, according to the AAA Fuel Gauge.
The average price for regular, unleaded is $2.662 per gallon.
Retail fuel prices in 2009 climbed gradually throughout the year and were marked by long periods of stability. The slow, gradual climb in retail gasoline prices for 2009 stands in stark contrast to the rollercoaster in prices witnessed in 2008. The year’s lowest average price for a gallon of self serve regular was recorded on Jan. 1 at $1.62. The highest was $2.695 on Oct. 30.
As of Monday, the national average retail price for a gallon of self serve regular was $2.603. The West Virginia average was $2.662. In Huntington, the average price was $2.613, one of the lowest averages in the state.
