Gas prices to rise after drop

Wednesday, Aug. 16, 2000 | 1:55 a.m.

The monthly survey of gas prices by AAA Nevada found prices statewide averaged $1.70 for a gallon of self-serve unleaded. That's down 6 cents from July 18.

In Reno, the average price was a $1.75, down from $1.81 last month.

And in Las Vegas, the average price dropped a nickel to $1.67.

But Steve Yarborough of the Nevada Gasoline Retailers Association predicted prices at the pumps will likely creep up again because wholesalers are raising their prices.
