When you need gasoline, get ready to feel it in your wallet. Gasoline prices rose overnight across the Three-State, with prices rising as high as $ 3.15. Officials attribute the surge to the cyberattack on a large east coast fuel pipeline, called Colonial Pipeline. The attack paralyzed the pipeline, which runs for more than 5,000 miles and carries nearly half of the fuel supply for the east coast. The FBI calls the crime against the Colonial Pipeline a ransomware attack carried out by an international criminal gang. That’s how much you pay at the Shell gas station on Liberty Street and the BP on Harrison Avenue in Queensgate. The jump over the river in Covington isn’t as high where we’ve seen gas stations selling gasoline for $ 3.05 a gallon. Across the state, the average in Ohio is slightly lower, about $ 3.06. Indiana is about the same. And Kentucky stays below the $ 3 mark.
