Gas Prices Climbing Slowly

Gas prices in the Carolinas are inching higher as most of the region pushes towards re-opening, causing a growing number of people to hit the road. Gasoline demand is now only 30 percent lower than a year ago and even with prices expected to push more expensive this month, motorists will still see some low Memorial Day gas prices. On the week, AAA reports that South Carolina’s average is three cents more expensive at $1.60, one cent more expensive on the month and 86 cents cheaper on the year. The current national average is at $1.87/g.
