Gas prices increased five cents this week, marking the sixth consecutive week of price increases, according to AAA Southern New England.

A March 14 survey found the current average for self-serve, regular unleaded gasoline to be $3.56 — 37 cents higher that it was a month ago, and one cent above the national average. Prices ranged from $3.47 to $3.69.

This time last year, Rhode Island's average price was $2.77.
