Gasoline prices in Lincoln rose by 12.1 cents last week, hitting an average of $3.38 per gallon. Despite the surge, survey data indicates the city continues to rank among the country’s most economical spots for filling up.

Washington’s gas prices currently average $3.84 per gallon—well above the national average of $2.81. Observers attribute this gap to local tax policies and other influencing factors, preventing the state’s prices from tracking national downward trends.
