Fargo\u00a0 (June 1, 2020 ND AAA) — The average price for a gallon of regular gas in North Dakota increased 19 cents during the month of May but remains at a level last seen 17 years ago.<\/p>\n
North Dakota motorists paid an average of $1.72 a gallon during May, the lowest average for the month since 2003. That year motorists filled up for an average of $1.54, according to AAA. Today\u2019s statewide average of $1.83 is also the lowest for the first day of June since 2003, when it was $1.55.<\/p>\n
Travel and fuel demand has slowly started to increase as pandemic lockdowns are lifted.
