LAS VEGAS (FOX5) -
Gas prices continue to climb, now up 30 cents in the last 30 days.
According to AAA's Fuel Gauge Report regular unleaded gas is averaging $3.68 in the Las Vegas metro area. That compares to an average of $3.38 at the start of August.
"With the conclusion of the summer driving season, we can expect gasoline prices to go on a diet," said Patrick DeHaan , senior petroleum analyst at GasBuddy.com.
Las Vegas prices are faring better than other parts of the country. The national average is currently $3.82 per gallon.
"As factors align in motorists favor- specifically as Isaac has exited without much ado, demand to see seasonal decline, and with cheaper to produce winter-spec higher RVP gasoline coming, there's light at the end of the tunnel," DeHaan said.
The highest recorded price of gas in Las Vegas was $4.22 in June of 2008, according to AAA.
