According to AAA, the average cost of gas has dropped slightly in New Hampshire but remains over $4 per gallon.

Jordan Jameson and Brenden Rourke put gas in the tank of Rourke’s car on a recent evening. “I think the gas prices are absurd but taking a cool picture will make it somewhat better,” said Jameson. Gas prices have spiked nationwide, though New Hampshire’s current average of $4.163 is the lowest average in New England and less than today’s national average of $4.236, according to AAA. “I hope the gas prices get fixed soon because eventually I might have to trade in my Mini Cooper for a bike,” said Rourke.
