(La Porte County, IN) - One thing to be thankful for this year at Thanksgiving is lower gas prices, as statistics show that the price of gas in the area is about 50 to 60 cents lower than last year around this time.

 

According to Gas Buddy.com, the lowest priced gas in the La Porte area this morning was at the Family Express at U.S. 20 and State Road 39, listed at $3.02 per gallon. Right across the highway from there, gas was just four cents higher per gallon at the Marathon station.

 

Gas was as high as $3.29 a gallon in the City of La Porte in places such as Kroger and the Marathon station on Indiana 4.

 

Meanwhile In Michigan City, gas was as low as $2.97 a gallon at the Go Lo station on Michigan Boulevard and just barely above three dollars a gallon at most other filling stations.

 

The price of gas this morning in New Buffalo was $3.15 per gallon at both stations in the city, as well as at the Shell Station just outside city limits near Interstate 94.
