GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – Just in time for millions of holiday travelers hitting the road, gas prices took another big dip. The price at the pump in Green Bay dropped 25.3 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.26/g today, according to GasBuddy.
Neighboring areas and their current gas prices:
Appleton- $3.26/g, down 23.5 cents per gallon from last week’s $3.49/g.
Wisconsin- $3.33/g, down 23.7 cents per gallon from last week’s $3.57/g.
Michigan- $3.80/g, down 21.4 cents per gallon from last week’s $4.01/g.
The national average price of gasoline has fallen 11.9 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.64/g today.
“What an incredible turnaround in the last week. While a decline was expected in more states than last week, I didn’t expect every single state to hop on the bandwagon so quickly. But, it’s terrific news as motorists prepare for Thanksgiving travel, with tens of thousands of stations under $3 per gallon, and thousands more to join in the next few weeks, barring a dramatic turnaround,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “Everyone will be seeing relief at the pump this week, with even more substantial declines on the way as oil prices plummeted last week to briefly trade under $80 per barrel. It’s not impossible that if oil markets hold here, we could see a national average of $2.99 around Christmas, certainly the gift that every motorist is hoping for. Drivers shouldn’t be in a rush to fill up as prices will come down nearly coast-to-coast into the heavily traveled Thanksgiving holiday.”
