Citrus County drivers may want to hold onto their wallets a little tighter this Independence Day weekend, as gas prices are expected to be higher than usual.
According to recent reports, the average price of gasoline in Citrus County has increased, with prices at some stations reaching as high as $3.50 per gallon. This is a significant jump from the same time last year, when prices were around $2.75 per gallon. The increase in prices is attributed to various market factors, including increased demand and supply chain disruptions.
Some of the highest prices in the area can be found in Inverness, with stations on US-41 and State Road 44 reporting prices above $3.40 per gallon. In Crystal River, prices are slightly lower, with some stations offering gas for around $3.25 per gallon. Drivers are advised to shop around and compare prices to find the best deals.
For those planning to travel, it’s recommended to fill up before hitting the road to avoid higher prices at tourist areas. The Citrus County Chronicle will continue to monitor gas prices and provide updates as the situation develops.
