gas prices

Patrick DeHaan: "...wholesale gasoline prices continue to inch up at a rate typical for this time of year..."

"For now, motorists should enjoy the decline, but be wary as we're likely to eventually see increases again down the road." Average gasoline prices in Wyoming have risen 2.3 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.40/g today, according to GasBuddy's survey of 494 stations in Wyoming...

During Tuesday's Casper City Council meeting, Mayor Bruce Knell discussed what as become an ongoing situation related to high gas bill prices.

According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Wyoming was priced at $2.44/g yesterday while the most expensive was $3.69/g, a difference of $1.25/g.

"while the declines for gasoline may fade, diesel prices still have considerable ground to cover, and could fall another 50 cents or more in the weeks ahead"

Gas prices in Wyoming are 41.1 cents per gallon lower than a month ago and stand 16.9 cents per gallon lower than a year ago. The national average price of diesel has fallen 13.6 cents in the last week and stands at $5.06 per gallon.

"It's not impossible that if oil markets hold here, we could see a national average of $2.99 around Christmas, certainly the gift that every motorist is hoping for. "

Average gasoline prices in Wyoming have fallen 3.2 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.94/g today, according to GasBuddy's survey of 494 stations in Wyoming. Prices in Wyoming are 41.0 cents per gallon lower than a month ago and stand 40.9 cents per gallon higher than a year ago.

There’s likely still a long way to go before inflation will get anywhere close to the 2% annual pace that Americans were long accustomed to.

While gas prices have fallen again for the ninth straight week in Wyoming and across the country, there's a possibility that the streak could be broken soon.
