Regular Gas Prices Down From Last Year, Diesel Prices Up

Saturday, December 17th, 2022 -- 9:49 AM

Wisconsin gas prices have fallen below $3 per gallon, but diesel prices remain higher than they were a year ago.

According to figures from AAA, the average cost of regular gasoline has fallen from $3.65 last month to $2.85 this month, while the average cost of diesel has declined from $5.13 to $4.28. Gas prices today are lower than their $3.03 average this time last year, but the price of diesel is about 90 cents per gallon higher than it was last December when the average was $3.39.

Nick Jarmusz, director of public affairs for AAA, said demand for regular gasoline typically falls in the winter months, thus lowering prices. But the same can't be said for diesel.  He said "Diesel tends to be less susceptible to seasonal patterns, just because shipping is a year-round industry."
