The ongoing conflict in the Middle East is causing gas prices to surge across Rhode Island.
Triple A says the average cost for a gallon of regular fuel right now is sitting at three-30.
That's an increase of 41 cents in the past week and it's also 44 cents higher than it was at this time one month ago.
The national average is also on the rise and it currently at three-45 per gallon.
