As US gasoline demand strengthened and supply declined, the national gas price average went up two-cents on the week to land at $2.86.
AAA South Dakota spokesperson Marilyn Buskohl says as crude and gasoline inventories tighten, motorists can expect gas prices to trend higher and remain volatile. She says last week, pump prices increased as much as 11-cents for some states with others seeing decreases of up to four-cents.
Buskohl says today’s South Dakota gas price average of $2.88 is one-cent less than last month, but it’s 55-cents more than a year ago.
The nation’s most expensive markets are: Hawaii ($3.78), California ($3.62), Washington ($3.40), Alaska ($3.37), Oregon ($3.29), Nevada ($3.20), Idaho ($3.11), Utah ($3.09), Connecticut ($3.07) and Washington, D.C. ($3.05).
