Gas prices in our region of Kentucky are seven cents cheaper
this week at $2.29, according to Triple A. The majority of Russell County
prices hovered around the $2.35 mark for the past several days.
With the Thanksgiving holiday upcoming and nearly 49.3 million
Americans expected to travel by car during that stretch, gas prices may start
to fluctuate by the end of this week.
The lower gas prices, however, are expected to bring the
highest number of holiday travelers since 2005, Triple A says.
On the national front, today’s national average of $2.59 is
two cents cheaper than last week’s prices.
