Gas Prices within the Sparta City Limits See an Unwelcomed Increase

It is no secret that gas prices are high right now, so The Expositor did a brief tour of the city limit gas stations to see where they sat. While most of the gas stations sat at an average of $3.99, there were a few that were a smidge cheaper at $3.95, which was the lowest we saw. Some stations did breach into the four-dollar range, but usually that was only if visitors were paying with cash. Diesel was at least $5 across the board, ranging from as low as $5.09 to $5.39. While these prices are subject to change, White County can only hope and wait for these prices to begin dropping again.

In fact, in the gap of time between this story printing in May 5's edition of The Expositor and being posted here on SpartaLive, some of the gas stations visited have already risen higher.
