AUGUSTA (AP) — Maine officials say the average price for home heating oil has risen 5 cents to $3.61 per gallon.

The Governor’s Energy Office said Tuesday that its weekly survey found a high of $3.90 in southwest Maine and a low of $3.40 in three areas of the state including southwest, eastern and western Maine.

The average price of kerosene also increased to $4 a gallon, up 4 cents from last week. The survey says average propane prices were the same as last week at $2.77 per gallon.

Officials said crude oil prices have risen this week as new pipeline capacity will decrease current domestic inventories.

But the average fuel prices in Maine are still slightly lower than this time last year except for propane, which was slightly higher.
