Gas prices nudge slightly higher ahead of the 4th of July weeekend

Gas prices are up slightly across the country, by about eight cents over the past week, bringing the national average price to $3.22. In the Mountain State, gas is up seven cents from last week according to AAA, at $3.16. That’s still lower than a year ago by about twenty cents. The conflict in Iran could have an impact on crude oil prices, but that remains to be seen.
