GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – Gas prices are down just in time for Holiday travel.
Patrick DeHaan of Gasbuddy.com says that is due in part to oil prices.
“Oil prices are down from about $76 dollars in early October to about $57 dollars.
He says production also has played a role this month.
“Supply suddenly increased as a result of OPEC increasing production and the US issuing waivers.”
The low price in Green Bay is $2.35 and the average price is $2.50 a gallon. He says there are plenty of places to get gas below the average price.
“See if you can find gas for $2.45 or less.”
For those planning on traveling for Thanksgiving, DeHaan says there really is no need to hurry and fill up.
“We will keep seeing prices fall across, Green Bay, Wisconsin, and the region,” he said. “If anything you may see prices go down a couple of cents between now and Thanksgiving. Especially when hitting the road, there is some low hanging fruit out there.”
DeHaan added that those who are traveling towards Chicago may be able to save some money as they get closer to their destination.
“The Southeast portion of the state generally is cheaper.”
Prices around the Fox Valley is similar to Green Bay with low prices at $2.35 a gallon and the average price at $2.51 a gallon.
