Gas prices continue to rise in St Joe, across Missouri and Kansas, and across the U.S.A.

In St Joe the rise was short-lived.

One local chain in St Joseph raised their pump prices a dime to $3.75 a gallon early Thursday. But by Friday morning, they had cut their price a dime, to $3.65.

One store in Wathena was charging $3.85.

The national average Thursday morning was over $3.92 a gallon according to AAA. That’s up a penny from the day before, up four cents for the week and 21 cents higher than a month ago.

A year ago the national average was over $3.59 a gallon.
