pumpinggasTHUMB(CSi)  October 26, 2015   Average retail gasoline prices in North Dakota have fallen 7.7 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.38/g yesterday, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 493 gas outlets in North Dakota. This compares with the national average that has fallen 5.2 cents per gallon in the last week to $2.20/g, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com.

Including the change in gas prices in North Dakota during the past week, prices yesterday were 81.3 cents per gallon lower than the same day one year ago and are 4.3 cents per gallon higher than a month ago. The national average has decreased 8.5 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 83.9 cents per gallon lower than this day one year ago.

October ends with the Halloween tradition of trick or treating. The good news for drivers is that the treats should extend into November,” said Jeff Pelton, GasBuddy’s senior petroleum analyst for the Northeast.

“As refineries finish up their planned and in some cases unplanned (notably in the Midwest) rounds of maintenance, gasoline should return to the pumps at very high levels. That, coupled with the lower demand that comes with the fall season, should push November retail prices to fall another 10 to 12 cents.”
