Hall Co. gas prices down two cents

Gas prices in Hall County are two cents less, on average, today than they were last Monday. AAA says he average price for regular unleaded is $2.93.

Meanwhile, the state average held steady at $2.96 while the national average moved up from $3.10 to 13.

“The culprit for (any increase) in prices is likely old man Winter,” said Andrew Gross, AAA spokesman. “It’s a little harder to distribute gasoline in bad weather, and refineries don’t operate well in freezing temperatures either.”
