The AAA auto club reports the average price of a gallon of unleaded gas in Washington is $4.16!
That’s down 12 cents in a week and is 62 cents higher than the national average.
The AAA survey shows these gas prices from around the state:
Bellingham $4.31
Bremerton $4.13
Seattle-Bellevue-Everett $4.22
Tacoma $4.14
Olympia $4.15
Vancouver $4.12
Yakima $4.17
Tri-Cities $4.09
Spokane $3.93.
I went to a meeting in Yakima May 18 and then went to the coast after that and we were surprised mid grade was 4.45 to 4.85 a gallon almost everywhere, and still the roads were crowded.
Last night got 3.84 Mobil at Hauser and Texaco is 3.86 on Crestline south of Hilltard.
A friend was just in town from Olympia and was very excited about how 'low' our gas prices are. Surprised me, to say the least. Dang, there's not much difference between Hauser, in Idaho, and near Hillyard! Thought Idaho was always a lot cheaper but I guess it just depends where you go.
