South Dakota’s average pump price has risen four cents over the week and dropped one cent from yesterday after rising for much of April, according to GasPrices.AAA.com.
“Between the first of April and April 14, the state average price for a gallon of regular rose 9 cents, coming in at $2.40 per gallon on April 14, the high for the year,” said Marilyn Buskohl, spokeswoman for AAA South Dakota. “We expect retail gas to trend upward as we approach the start of summer. How much they rise depends largely on market forces occurring on the other side of the globe.”
