Local gas prices are on the rise.

Several gas stations around the county are selling at prices at $3 per gallon or more.

Prices have risen noticeably over the last few weeks. At the end of January, most gas stations in the county were selling at around the $2.69 mark, an increase of more than 30 cents over the course of a couple weeks.

Even with the recent increase, prices remain about 7-10 cents cheaper than this time last year, according to AAA.
