South Dakota Gas Prices Reach 2017 High

GAS

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.”

Current Price Averages per Gallon of Regular Gasoline

Sioux Falls – $2.33, up eleven cents from one month ago … up 27 cents since 4/17/16
Rapid City – $2.44, up 12 cents from one month ago … up 40 cents since 4/17/16
South Dakota – $2.40, up six cents from one month ago … up 30 cents since 4/17/16
U.S. – $2.41, up 12 cents from one month ago … up 30 cents since 4/17/16

Today’s national average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline is at its highest price this year and has now increased for 20 consecutive days. Pump prices in 43 states and Washington D.C. have moved higher over the last week. This increase was most prevalent in the East Coast region where refiners wrapped up seasonal turnaround resulting in significant prices increases last week.
