Travel Cheaper This Independence Day Weekend
July 4, 2009
It may seem like gas prices are high, but they actually have not been this low on the Fourth of July since 2005.
Escambia County’s average gas price on this Independence Day is $2.64 for a gallon of regular unleaded — that compares to an average price of $4.04 last year on the Fourth. Today’s $2.64 average price does represent a slight increase over a month ago when the average for a gallon of regular unleaded was $2.53.
Our local gas price average is slightly higher than the national average of $2.62.
In Davisville, a gallon of regular unleaded was below the county average at $2.47.
A round trip from North Escambia to Atlanta would cost about $82.70 in fuel in a 2009 Chevrolet Impala this year. Last Fourth of July, that trip would have cost 130.89 — almost $50 more.
In the Pensacola metro area, the cheapest gas Saturday morning was at Sam’s Club on Airport Boulevard at $2.49 for regular unleaded.

It might be a good idea to set aside a small part of this page to report gasoline prices. There is such a difference in price. In Bay Minette today regular unleaded is 2.38 as opposed to Atmore coming in at 2.44 to 2.49.
