How gas prices have changed in Kentucky in the last week

Californians are now dealing with $6 per gallon of gasoline—the highest in the nation—as international oil production is curtailed, pushing prices up around the country.

West Coast states are experiencing the highest prices for a gallon of gas this week as analysts forecast prices could fall slowly in the coming weeks.

“Gas prices will likely keep falling, but it’s going to be slow and unsteady, so expect some days where it might edge higher a bit,” AAA spokesperson Andrew Gross said in a statement Thursday.

Nevada residents have also seen gas prices rise over the last week, making it the second-highest state for prices, while states including Delaware and Florida saw prices fall.
