The price of gas in Mississippi has jumped an average of almost six cents in the last two days. AAA says the statewide average is now at $3.69, the highest it’s been since the middle of June. Despite the increase, the auto club says only two states—Indiana and Texas—have a lower average price.
And if you’re looking to save on a tank of gas, the average price countywide in Leake County is the lowest in Mississippi at $3.50. According to GasBuddy.com, it’s selling for as little as $3.33 in Carthage. But the phone app says the lowest price it’s found in this area is actually in Philadelphia, at $3.32, even though the countywide average in Neshoba County is 11 cents higher than Leake.
