Gasoline prices have risen in much of the country over the last week as crude oil prices rose to over $50 per barrel.

Average retail gasoline prices in Wyoming have fallen 2.9 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.20/g yesterday.

This compares with the national average that has fallen 1.8 cents per gallon in the last week to $2.17/g.

With the conclusion of Labor Day weekend comes the end of the summer driving season in the world's largest gasoline consuming country, setting the stage for gasoline demand and prices to fall.

As oil prices have continued to lift, gasoline prices may see additional slight increases in some parts of the country again this week, but overall, gasoline and diesel prices remain very low.

Prices yesterday were 56.0 cents per gallon lower than the same day one year ago and are 6.3 cents per gallon lower than a month ago.

Average retail gasoline prices in Wyoming have fallen 1.3 cents per gallon in the past week.

Despite fuel consumption near record levels, U.S. gasoline inventory recently reached the highest July level ever recorded.

Even an uptick in demand for gasoline during the Fourth of July weekend couldn’t slow falling retail gasoline prices.

Should we see a major hurricane enter the Gulf, gas prices may react.

Average retail gasoline prices in Wyoming have fallen 1.3 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.29/g yesterday.

Including the change in gas prices in Wyoming during the past week, prices yesterday were 39.6 cents per gallon lower than the same day one year ago and are 17.3 cents per gallon higher than a month ago.
