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.
