Gas prices have jumped 16 cents in the past week across West Virginia.
AAA reported the price for a gallon of regular, unleaded gasoline averaged $3.67 last week.
Prices ranged from $3.63 in Charleston and Parkersburg to $3.72 in Martinsburg.
A year ago, prices in West Virginia averaged $3.60.
Nationally, average prices rose 17 cents per gallon last week to $3.53. AAA said recent increases are due to higher oil prices, refinery issues and preparations for switching to summer-blend gasoline.
