Gas prices gyrated again Tuesday—down a bit after a Monday spike in Wilkes, up a bit in the High Country.  Our BP Barometer showed a one-cent increase during the day yesterday, now at $3.66.9, while some of the stations in Wilkes that showed increases as high as 20-cents a gallon Monday afternoon moderated prices a bit by yesterday afternoon.
