Gas Prices On The Rise

Posted: Updated:
North Mankato -

Gas prices in the state have gone up 5 cents per gallon in the last week and now average 3.07. Locally, we found prices at 3.09 across Mankato. This compares with the national average that didn't move at all in the last week and is much higher than here at $3.24 a gallon, this all according to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com. The good news is that gas prices are nearly 13 cents a gallon lower than the same day one year ago in the state.  But analysts says it appears that the national average may set a new all-time record high, barely edging out 2011 as the most expensive average for gasoline on Christmas Day.
