North Dakota (CSi)- Average retail gasoline prices in North Dakota have fallen 1 cent per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.35/g yesterday, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 493 gas outlets in North Dakota. This compares with the national average that has fallen 4.0 cents per gallon in the last week to $2.33/g, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com.

 

Including the change in gas prices in North Dakota during the past week, prices Sunday were 9.9 cents per gallon higher than the same day one year ago and are 0.5 cents per gallon higher than a month ago. The national average has decreased 0.7 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 5.8 cents per gallon lower than this day one year ago.

 

According to GasBuddy historical data, gasoline prices on June 12 in North Dakota have ranged widely over the last five years:

$2.26/g in 2016, $2.66/g in 2015, $3.54/g in 2014, $3.91/g in 2013 and $3.54/g in 2012.

 

Areas near North Dakota and their current gas price climate:

Sioux Falls- $2.20/g, down 2.3 cents per gallon from last week’s $2.23/g.

Fargo- $2.08/g, down 3.1 cents per gallon from last week’s $2.11/g.

South Dakota- $2.32/g, down 5.4 cents per gallon from last week’s $2.37/g.

 

“While the national average fell 5 cents per gallon in the last week, the bigger story is that 47 states saw average gas prices move lower in the last week, so this isn’t just a here and there trend, it’s almost everywhere,” said Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy.

 

“Oil prices remain near 6-month lows as fundamentals remain weak- supply remains high even in light of production cuts from OPEC while demand has been mild, not remarkable. Today’s national average price for gasoline is the lowest for mid-June since 2005- not an easy record to attain. By all measures, gasoline prices this year have been exactly what most motorists seem to love- stable and cheap, two words that rarely have been synonymous with gas prices over the last decade. While many motorists are lured in to that false sense of security, smart motorists continue to shop around and find the best deal as the gas price spread between stations hits record levels, providing enough savings to pay for a snack or food item inside the station,” DeHaan said.
