The average price of gas in Mississippi has topped $3.60 a gallon for the first time since the summer of 2022 and it’s not slowing down. AAA says it’s up another 7 cents this morning, now at $3.67. The big jump marks a departure from what we’ve been seeing with daily increases of two cents or less since March 20th. The auto club says Leake County continues to have some of the cheapest gas in the state with a countywide average of $3.54. But GasBuddy.com says you can fill up in Carthage for as little as $3.27. Neshoba County’s average price is $3.62 but in Philadelphia, Gas Buddy says you can buy gas for $3.37. And in Attala County, the average price is $3.73. The lowest price Gas Buddy found in Kosciusko was $3.59.

Federal taxes are on top of this. “Effective July 1, 2025, the current 18¢ per gallon rate will continue through June 30, 2025. The rate will increase to 21¢ per gallon from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, to 24¢ per gallon from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, and 27¢ per gallon from July 1, 2027.” Reuters
