Gas prices rise a bit in northern New England
Gas prices continue to rise in northern New England, though they remain lower than the national average.The latest GasBuddy survey shows the average price for a gallon of gas is $2.64 in New Hampshire, $2.70 in Vermont and $2.71 in Maine. Those all represent increases compared to a week earlier, but they're all significantly lower than the average price a year ago. The national average price of gasoline rose 3.3 cents per gallon in the last week to $2.79.Analysts say the rise in prices nationally is tied to higher oil prices due to global geopolitical tensions, declining oil inventories and Hurricane Barry's impact on oil production.
