(The Center Square) — According to the Automobile Association of America, Mississippi has the nation's cheapest gas but prices are up slightly over last week. According to AAA, the average price of a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline in the Magnolia State is up almost a cent to $2.99, the only state under $3 per gallon. That's a 28.4% drop from the same time last year, when gas was $4.18 per gallon. The national average is $3.58. Gasbuddy energy analyst Patrick De Haan said he surprised to see Wednesday gasoline demand fall against the four-week average considering the upcoming Memorial Day holiday weekend, considered the kickoff for the summer driving season.
