Gas Price Drumbeat: Campbellsville has some $1.429 gas

Some pumps, including those at Murphy Oil at Wal-Mart in Campbellsville, KY, were $1.429 on Saturday, December 27, 2008.

In Columbia, the price was below the national average, but was at least 5 cents higher than the Campbellsville outlet.

One gas price watcher, Dan Phillips, wrote that gas in Russell Springs on Saturday, December 27, morning was $1.479, the same as Columbia's lowest pump price. "This morning in Russell Springs I saw that for regular unleaded, Kroger gas and the Laker One Stop Marathon (both on U.S. Hwy 127) the price was 1.479 per gallon," he wrote.

"The reason that the Russell Springs gas prices were interesting was that they were the same price as Columbia. Many mornings there is a 10-15 cent difference in price per gallon, although there does not seem to be a pattern as to which one is more expensive - both towns are usually different," the reader added.
