Nevada gas prices keep creeping up

It’s not your imagination, it really is costing more money to fill up the gas tank in Nevada.

In the last week prices have gone up 3 cents. The average, according to GasBudy.com, is $2.60 a gallon.

A year ago drivers in the Silver State were paying 57 cents less per gallon. Even a month ago a gallon of gas was 12 cents cheaper.

GasBuddy attributes the rise to refineries doing maintenance.
