We are approaching Memorial Day Weekend, which is certainly one of the weekends of the year when you would expect a decent amount of travel from motorists. It could also be the highest we have seen gas prices for the holiday weekend since 2014.
With recent reports on the hack of the Colonial pipeline and COVID-19 restrictions being lifted, average gas prices across the United States have creeped up to $3 a gallon, a rate not seen since 2014.
For the tenth consecutive week, the price of gasoline has is on the rise across the country. The national average has increased another 5.9 cents per gallon to a nationwide average of $2.86 per gallon. In Wyoming, despite being consistently below the nation average, we're quickly climbing towards it.
We've been seeing some of the highest gas prices that we have seen in a while due in large part to the crazy winter weather that has affected almost the entire country.
Half of Americans will skip an out-of-town vacation, with one-in-four saying they can’t afford it. 11% are too busy with work. How bad will this hurt Wyoming?
