The average gas price in the Tri-Cities remains the same as yesterday at $3.65 a gallon. But with the threat of higher gas prices by the weekend due to Hurricane Ike, many motorists across the Tri-Cities are filling their tanks.
Your Tri-Cities News Source hit the streets early Friday to check out the prices around the tri.
The highest pump price, $3.69/gallon for regular gas, was spotted just before five o’clock on North Roan Street near the I-26 interchange.
Driving around, we noticed prices were higher near the highway and major land marks.
The BP gas station near East Tennessee State University hovered around the average rate. Just inches from the campus at Tennessee and West Walnut Street regular gas cost $3.65.
The Shell Road Runner on State of Franklin across from ETSU has gas for $3.59.
While another Shell Road Runner on West Market Street has a sticker price of $3.64.
As Hurricane Ike inches toward the gulf coast, economists forecast prices may rise 40 cents to more then a dollar before Saturday morning.
