Gas Prices Continue to Fall
Good news if you are driving to your Thanksgiving destinations as gas prices are actually down. In the Jackson area, gas prices are hovering around $3.10 a gallon of regular unleaded, but can be found for a s little a $3.04 at stations on the Highway 45 Bypass and Old Hickory Boulevard. The Lundburg Survey reports drivers are paying an average of $3.38 nationwide, which is down about a nickel over the past two weeks, which is music to area driver’s ears. “They’re falling. As we come from Pennsylvania, we’re about 3.33 – 3.35 in Pennsylvania, said Stephen Shuppy, who is traveling from Pennsylvania. I think Kentucky was about 3.13, regular. We’re about what, 3.19 here?, so they’re falling as we travel south.” Analysts said the drop in gas prices is greatly due to a weak economy and a reduction in demand.
