LAS VEGAS (FOX5) -
While Las Vegas isn't anywhere near the lower than $3 a gallon gas in Pahrump, the southern Nevada metropolis is still seeing prices trickle down.
According to AAA's Fuel Gauge Report, the Las Vegas area is averaging $3.38 a gallon for regular unleaded, as of Monday.
The price is about four cents higher than a week ago.
A month ago, Las Vegans were filling up at an average price of $3.69 a gallon. The price was $3.48 a year ago.
The price of gas nationally actually went up a cent since the week before, AAA said.
"Those who stuck around the low gas price party expecting it to last have realized they're out in the cold," said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. "Oil prices are well off their recent lows, and we'll likely continue to see the national average rise in response. Most regions should see prices rising, while the Rockies areas may see any increase take considerably longer to arrive."
