The Giles County Gas Price average is $2.32, which is the same as yesterday, one cent more expensive compared to last month, and 31 cents more expensive than last year.

The National Gas Price Average is $2.58, up four cents from last week. Compared to last month, the national average is the same price, but 31 cents more expensive than the end of 2018.

A year-end spike in road trip travel due to the holidays helped to push the national average more expensive on the week.

However, in 2019, the national gas price average was $2.61, which is ten cents cheaper than the 2018 average of $2.71.

“The saw gas prices increase in the last week – some by as much as a nickel to a dime, but any spikes in gas prices that motorists are seeing will be short-lived,” said Jeanette Casselano, AAA spokesperson. “AAA expects gas prices to decrease following the holidays.”
