Drivers heading out on summer trips are seeing slightly higher gas prices this week here in the Syracuse area. The AAA reports a gallon of gas rose about three cents in the past week. The $3.59 average is slightly lower than a month ago and about 6 cents lower than a year ago.
However, shopping around can help; prices varied more than 50 cents a gallon according to a Gas Buddy-dot-com survey of local stations.
