National gas prices have increased fractions of a penny to reach today’s average price for regular unleaded gasoline, which is $2.28 per gallon. Today’s average is the same as one week ago, five cents less compared to one month ago and 56 cents more than the same date last year. Prices continue to remain flat due to lower driving demand and an oversupplied market as a result of increased U.S. production. As refinery maintenance season begins and driving demand increases, we could expect to see some of the gasoline supply in the U.S. soaked up.
West Central Kentucky motorists will have a few more Jefferson head nickels in their pocket this week as gas prices decreased five cents to $2.12 per gallon, still remaining far below the national average, according to AAA East Central’s Gas Price Report.
