-At $2.57, the national gas price average is a penny cheaper on the week.The majority of states saw minimal movement at the pump in the last week, several saw decreases of up to four cents while fewer than a dozen states saw gas prices increase. Since the end of October, gasoline demand has mostly decreased as gasoline stocks have mostly increased, paving the way for cheaper gas prices. AAA expects stocks to continue to grow and drive gas prices even cheaper through year-end. Today’s national average is a nickel cheaper than last month, but 15-cents more expensive than this time last year.
Wisconsin’s national average is $2.42 which is a one-cent increase. Energy Information Administration data shows that both regional refinery rates and gasoline stocks built on the week. Regional refineries rates bumped up 3% to 94% while stocks increased by 800,000 bbl. While many states saw gas prices increase, this combination helped to keep those changes minimal for motorists in the region.
