Find the Cheapest Gas Prices in Norcross

The national average price for a gallon of gas is $3.75, but the best price Sunday in Norcross is $3.68.

On Feb. 22, Patch reported that the average price of a gallon of gas was $3.71. A week ago, the average jumped to $3.77, but today, March 3, the national average decreased to $3.75, according to AAA.

Gas prices have been soaring the past few weeks, so the recently lowered average just may be a small fluke. According to a report in MidlandsConnect.com, "The recent climb in prices has to do with predictions investors are making on Wall Street, among other things," said Michael Fields with the SC Petroleum Marketers Association.

That coupled with the U.S. refinery maintenance that usually peaks this time of the year which reduces the amount of fuel produced, has added to the price increase.

"Motorists are paying more for gas at this time of year than ever before and prices are likely to continue to climb," AAA spokesman Michael Green told USA Today.
