Tim’s Observations:
It seems the streak of falling prices is broken, at least for today. According to AAA, the national average went up by a penny per gallon. Around Wyoming, there were increases as well. The low prices in our surveyed cities made gains.
Casper’s low is up 9 cents per gallon from yesterday’s report, while Cody is up 2 cents, and Gillette up sharply at 18 cents higher. County averages saw an increase as well, with Campbell County up 7 cents, Converse up 5 cents, Laramie up 4 cents, and Natrona up 5 cents per gallon.
