Gas prices in the area have risen to over 16 cents per gallon in the past week to an average of $2.65 per gallon on Monday. We should consider ourselves a little lucky because we still manage to be below the national average which was $2.74 per gallon.

GasBuddy.com says the prices are nearly 14 cents higher than a month ago and over 6 cents higher than a year ago.
