Gas Prices Increase for Third Week Straight

Still, compared to a year ago gas is an average of $1.17 cheaper per gallon, according to the Energy Information Administration, and it’s still down vastly from its summer high of more than $4. Prices are highest on the West Coast, at $2.02 per gallon, and lowest in the Rocky Mountain states, where the regional price hovers around $1.61 per gallon.

While the increase is small change, it’s something to keep an eye on, especially in the coming months as winter gives out and Americans begin driving more.
