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.
