Reno gas prices on the rise

Wednesday, March 1, 2000 | 2:12 a.m.

Reno's average price is $1.68 a gallon, just 5 cents shy of last August's record $1.73 a gallon. The average price in Las Vegas is $1.58 a gallon.

Industry officials said costs would rise even higher in coming weeks. They blame production cuts last year and seasonal disruptions in West Coast refineries.

"What can we do?" asked Marvis Green of Reno while filling up her Jeep Cherokee tank for $26. "I lived in Europe for a while. That makes this look small."
