How Las Vegas gas prices have changed over the last week
Gas prices declined in cities across the country over the last week as inflation rates remain stubbornly high and the price of oil has declined.
A gallon of regular gas was $3.37 on average Monday, February 27, according to AAA. Stacker compiled statistics on gas prices in Las Vegas (NV only) metro area using data from AAA. Gas prices are current as of February 27. State gas tax data is from World Population Review.
The general public could pull back on gasoline spending as the Federal Reserve is expected to ratchet interest rates upward further in an effort to cool inflation. That’s even as gas prices typically rise heading into Spring Break and the summer months.
“For the weeks ahead, tradition tells us to expect prices to move up eventually, but that could be at least be partially offset by inflationary data that continues to be hotter than expected,” GasBuddy analyst Patrick De Haan said in a statement Monday.
