Spring Break travel will be a little easier on the pocketbook this year for those hitting the highway.

The average cost for a gallon of regular unleaded in the Pensacola area is $3.39, down from $3.62 a year ago. Gas prices in the North Escambia area Saturday ranged from $3.36 in Cantonment to $3.44 in Davisville.

The lowest price in the Pensacola area Saturday night was $3.29 at a Circle K on Mobile Highway.

The national average price at the pump is $3.42 per gallon. This price is six cents more expensive than one week ago and 13 cents more than one month ago; however national prices remain 36 cents per gallon less than the same date last year.

    Has anybody checked out the Tom Thumb in Cantonment. They went up 10 cents today. Seems they are always the first to go up and the last to come down. Sometimes they go up when no one else does for a couple of days and then back down. It seems they are trying to control gas prices. They also will have same price at all stores from Cantonment all the way to Ft Walton. You know that cannot be possible. Taxes are different in all counties.

    Has anyone noticed that the difference between Regular, Mid Grade, and High Test is about $.20 and it used to be $.10 I would like to know why.
