Wyoming Drivers Enjoy A Small Break At The Pump

Average gasoline prices in Wyoming fell slightly over the past week, dropping 0.9 cents to an average of $2.85 per gallon Monday, according to GasBuddy’s survey of nearly 500 stations across the state.

Wyoming drivers are paying about 17.5 cents less per gallon than a month ago and 25.7 cents less than this time last year, GasBuddy reported. Prices across the state ranged from $2.38 to $3.49 per gallon on Sunday — a difference of $1.11.

Nationally, gas prices slipped 1.4 cents over the past week to an average of $2.99 per gallon. That’s 14.8 cents lower than a month ago and 6.6 cents lower than a year earlier. Meanwhile, the national average price of diesel rose 2.5 cents to $3.66 per gallon.

“The national average once again briefly dipped below the $3 per gallon mark, but the drop will be short-lived,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “Gas prices are likely to rebound soon in the Great Lakes states due to ongoing refinery challenges, while a new snag at a California refinery may slow the pace of declines on the West Coast.”

De Haan added that OPEC+ recently announced an additional oil production increase for December but plans to hold steady from January through March, meaning national prices may hover in the low-$3 range in the near term.

GasBuddy compiles data from more than 150,000 gas stations nationwide, updating its information hundreds of times daily.
