Just when it seemed gas
prices couldn’t get any lower … they didn’t
The price of gasoline has begun to edge up nationally and locally, according to AAA Fuel Gauge, which tracks such things.
The average price for a gallon of regular in Kitsap was $2.014 per gallon Monday, up just a hair from a week ago when it was $1.995.
Filling up was still cheaper than a year ago, when the average price was $2.788.
Nationally, the average price of gas has been under $2 for most the year, but is now climbing.
AAA noted price swings are typical this time of year as refineries conduct maintenance. The association predicts generous supplies of gasoline and low crude oil cost will keep prices from climbing as high as in previous years.
At $2.03 per gallon, Washington is one of only four states in the country where the average price of gas is more than $2.
Funny how here is Washington the gas prices are probably the fastest to go up and the quickest. I have family in Texas that tells me that their gas prices are still going down.
