Gasoline prices in Wyoming rise slightly, national average falls

According to a survey of 494 gas stations in Wyoming by GasBuddy, average gasoline prices in Wyoming have increased 0.8 cents per gallon over the past week and are averaging $3.35 per gallon today. Prices in Wyoming are 9.3 cents per gallon higher than a month ago and 56.6 cents per gallon lower than a year ago.

According to GasBuddy's price reports, the cheapest gas station in Wyoming yesterday cost $2.95/g, while the most expensive cost $4.49/g, a difference of $1.50/g.

The lowest gasoline price in Natrona County yesterday was $2.95/g at the Exxon station at 1968 East Yellowstone Highway.

The national average price of gasoline fell 4.2 cents per gallon over the past week and is now averaging $3.37 per gram.

The national average price of diesel fell 2.6 cents last week to $3.69 per gallon, the lowest in 940 days.

“Gasoline and diesel prices continue to fall across much of the country as summer demand eases. Lower demand in other oil-consuming countries is also adding to the downward pressure on pump prices as we approach Labor Day,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “With little new action in the Middle East to drive up prices and Hurricane Ernesto still far out at sea, it looks like the downward trend could continue in the coming week. As more schools reopen, gasoline demand is likely to continue to weaken. With the switch to winter gasoline beginning in most parts of the country in less than a month, gasoline prices will soon begin their seasonal cooldown – just as temperatures will soon.”
