PORTLAND (AP) – Heating oil prices continue to go up in Maine.

The state energy office says the average cash price for home heating oil has grown 6 cents since the last survey two weeks ago, to $3.28 per gallon. That’s 97 cents higher than at the same time last year.

Likewise, kerosene prices were up by 5 cents, to $3.67 per gallon. But propane was actually down by a penny a gallon, to $2.95 per gallon.

The survey, released Monday, showed a range from a low price of $2.99 per gallon in southwestern Maine to as much as $3.41 per gallon in eastern Maine.
