Citrus County drivers are bracing for higher gas prices, according to a recent report. The increase is attributed to various market factors, including global demand and supply chain disruptions.
As of Monday, the average price of regular gasoline in Citrus County was around $3.25 per gallon, up from $3.10 per gallon last week. According to AAA, prices are expected to rise further in the coming weeks, potentially reaching $3.50 per gallon or more.
Local residents are feeling the pinch, with some expressing concerns about the impact on their daily commutes and household budgets. “It’s getting expensive to fill up my tank,” said Inverness resident, John Smith, 42. “I’m trying to cut back on driving and find ways to save money on gas.”
To help mitigate the effects of higher gas prices, some residents are turning to fuel-efficient vehicles, carpooling, and alternative modes of transportation. The Citrus County Chronicle will continue to monitor gas prices and provide updates as more information becomes available.
