How gas prices have changed in Kentucky in the last week

The cost for a gallon of gas is down a few cents from last week as the July Fourth weekend gets underway. Typically, demand for gas rises around this weekend, driving prices upward.

A gallon of gas was $3.54 on average, according to AAA gas price data. Stacker compiled statistics on gas prices in Kentucky. Gas prices are as of June 30.

AAA expects a record 43.2 million people to hit the road this holiday weekend, setting a record. The good news? Those drivers are spending $20 less on average to fill up their tanks this weekend compared to a year ago, according to GasBuddy.

“Consumers are not cutting back on travel this summer,” said AAA senior VP of travel Paula Twidale.
