Areas near North Dakota and their current gas price climate:

Sioux Falls- $2.14/g, up 1.9 cents per gallon from last week’s $2.12/g.

Fargo- $1.99/g, unchanged  from last week’s $1.99/g.

South Dakota- $2.12/g, unchanged  from last week’s $2.12/g.

“The national average price of gasoline barely nudged higher last week, driven primarily by stations hiking prices notably in the Great Lakes early last week, pushing the national average to $2.30 per gallon mid-week before those states saw stations again cutting prices and chiseling away at the nation’s average price over the weekend,” said Patrick DeHaan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy. “With oil prices sinking last week to $51 per barrel on concerns over a slowdown in trade talks with China, many states saw a respite in gas prices. However, as pipeline specifications begin to shift towards the first step towards summer gasoline requirements in the weeks ahead, the overhang in gasoline inventories will likely start to dry up and push gas prices higher.”
