Prices Up At The Pump Keeping Some Home

Gas prices are keeping many people in town for the Fourth of July weekend. The added cost to travel just isn't worth it to many people in Eastern Washington. Although the nightmare of gas hovering around four dollars a gallon seems to be behind us, for the time being, many people have made permanent changes to their driving routines since last year. Richard Lofstrom tells our News Partner KIMA Action News he's choosing not to leave town for the Fourth. Gas prices are down about 20 cents since last month, but it's still hardly a bargain. The average price in Yakima is $3.78, which is still discouraging many from a road trip for the Fourth of July.
