Written by Mac Watson on May 20, 2024
Gas prices are expected to rise by about $0.10 per gallon this summer, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), as crude oil futures inch higher on geopolitical tensions.
But average gasoline prices in Wyoming have fallen 0.6 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.31/g today, according to GasBuddy‘s survey of 494 stations in Wyoming. Prices in Wyoming are 0.7 cents per gallon lower than a month ago and stand 4.4 cents per gallon lower than a year ago. The national average price of diesel has fallen 3.3 cents in the last week and stands at $3.86 per gallon.
According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Wyoming was priced at $2.82/g yesterday while the most expensive was $4.46/g, a difference of $1.64/g. The lowest price in the state yesterday was $2.82/g while the highest was $4.46/g, a difference of $1.64/g.
The national average price of gasoline has fallen 3.5 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.55/g today. The national average is down 12.0 cents per gallon from a month ago and stands 2.2 cents per gallon higher than a year ago, according to GasBuddy data compiled from more than 11 million weekly price reports covering over 150,000 gas stations across the country.
Neighboring areas and their current gas prices:
Fort Collins- $3.29/g, up 17.0 cents per gallon from last week’s $3.12/g.
Ogden- $3.60/g, down 9.5 cents per gallon from last week’s $3.69/g.
Billings- $3.45/g, down 0.8 cents per gallon from last week’s $3.46/g.
“The news continues to be good for motorists ahead of Memorial Day, with gasoline prices again falling, making it four straight weeks of declines for the national average as we get closer to the start of the summer driving season,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “The good news doesn’t necessarily end there, either. GasBuddy’s Summer Travel Forecast, coming out tomorrow, will also give motorists mostly good news for the rest of the summer, predicting that gas prices over the next few months will stay far under record levels and should continue trending lower as we get closer to July 4. While the Middle East, hurricane season, refinery maintenance and any other unexpected disruptions or weather remain wildcards, this summer is shaping up to be mostly favorable for drivers hitting the road.”
