GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Drivers are experiencing significant pain at the gas pump as gas prices rise across Wisconsin.
GasBuddy reports that the price for a gallon of regular will cost an average of $3.87 in Green Bay, up 54 cents from last week. Prices in Green Bay are 66.3 cents per gallon higher than a month ago and stand $1.25/g higher than a year ago. Some stations in Green Bay are selling gas for more than $4 a gallon.
Neighboring areas and their current gas prices:
Appleton- $3.82/g, up 58.6 cents per gallon from last week’s $3.24/g.
Wisconsin- $3.85/g, up 50.6 cents per gallon from last week’s $3.34/g.
Michigan- $4.04/g, up 48.4 cents per gallon from last week’s $3.56/g.
Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy says…..
“There are few words to describe the unprecedented rise in gasoline prices over the last week, with massive spikes coast to coast in both gasoline and diesel prices, as oil prices jump to their highest since 2008. Forget the $4 per gallon mark, the nation will soon set new all-time record highs and we could push closer to a national average of $4.50/gal. California could be heading for $5.50 per gallon with more stations charging $6 and beyond. We’ve never been in this situation before, with this level of uncertainty. As we lose a major global producer under the weight of deserving bipartisan sanctions for invading a sovereign country, the cost is high. Americans will be feeling the pain of the rise in prices for quite some time, with little good news foreseen.”
The national average price for regular is the highest it’s been in 14 years.
