West Virginia pump prices take a 2-cent dip, but per-gallon price could rise in weeks ahead


The price at the pump in West Virginia has dipped by 2 cents from a week ago.

The Triple A's weekly check on gas prices found the average price of a gallon of regular unleaded at $3.63. That's 2 cents below the U.S. average.

The auto club said it expects gas prices in the weeks ahead could increase with the arrival of hurricane season, which can disrupt production and distribution of gas.

Gas prices across West Virginia ranged from a low of $3.50 a gallon in Parkersburg to a high of $3.90 in Martinsburg.
