Monday is a federal holiday, meaning all city, county, state, and federal offices are closed. This gives residents in Yakima an extra opportunity to drive around and hunt for the best gas prices in the area. According to GasBuddy's survey, the average price of gasoline has increased by 4.0 cents per gallon over the past week, now averaging $3.73 per gallon. However, the cheapest gas in Yakima can be found at the Ahtanum Fuel Stop/Sinclair on Goodman Road, where prices are as low as $3.09 per gallon.
Why it matters
With the holiday giving residents extra time to seek out cheaper fuel, this is a good opportunity for Yakima residents to fill up their tanks and save money on gas. The national average price of diesel has also increased slightly, so finding the best deals is important for those who rely on diesel vehicles.
The details
According to GasBuddy's survey of 91 stations in Yakima, the average price of gasoline has increased by 4.0 cents per gallon over the past week, now averaging $3.73 per gallon. This marks the third week of rising prices, with a 10-cent jump recorded last week alone.
