LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Editor's Note: The video in the player first aired in March 2024.
Gas prices in Louisville are holding steady after a spike the week before.
Average gasoline prices in Louisville have stayed the same at $3.49 per gallon, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 644 stations across Louisville.
The prices are 12.9 cents higher per gallon compared to a month ago and 1.2 cents per gallon higher than a year ago. The cheapest station in Louisville on Sunday was about $2.99 a gallon, while the most expensive was priced at $3.99.
The national average is unchanged this week, averaging $3.46 per gallon. The national average for diesel fuel has risen 3.6 cents to $3.81.
"The national average price of gasoline has nudged higher over the last week as oil prices have continued to push toward multi-month highs. While it looks like this recent rise could be restrained for now, Hurricane Beryl is a stark reminder that hurricane season could play a role in prices in the weeks ahead," Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said.
"For now, we'll likely continue to see some fluctuations in either direction with the national average moving up, but as we approach August and the peak of hurricane season, there remains a risk that the national average could surge temporarily if we see a major storm in the wrong place."
Statewide, the lowest price on Sunday was $2.79 while the highest was about $3.99.
