Gasoline prices in Wyoming have inched up by 2.1 cents per gallon over the past week, bringing the state’s average price to $2.97 per gallon, according to GasBuddy’s latest survey of 494 stations, K2 Radio reports.
While Wyoming’s gas prices have remained relatively stable—up less than a penny from last month—they are still 10.5 cents per gallon lower than this time last year.
In contrast, the national average gas price has dropped by 1.3 cents per gallon in the past week, now standing at $3.02 per gallon. Meanwhile, diesel prices have also fallen, with the national average decreasing by 5 cents per gallon to $3.56 per gallon.
Gas prices across Wyoming continue to vary significantly. The lowest price recorded yesterday was $2.49 per gallon, while the highest reached $3.69 per gallon, creating a $1.20 per gallon difference between the cheapest and most expensive stations.
Neighboring states have also seen slight fluctuations in fuel prices:
- Fort Collins, CO: $2.76/g, down 3.7 cents from last week.
- Ogden, UT: $2.94/g, down 1.8 cents from last week.
- Billings, MT: $3.07/g, down 3.8 cents from last week.
According to Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, falling gas prices across much of the country may signal broader economic concerns.
“As concerns over tariffs and policy uncertainties grow, gas prices have continued to decline, raising the possibility that the national average could slip below $3 per gallon and approach some of the lowest prices seen in years.”
However, De Haan cautioned that this trend might not be a positive sign:
“When the economy slows, gasoline demand drops—along with demand for other refined products like diesel and jet fuel. We’ve already seen some signals that the months ahead could be challenging.”
