Gas prices give relief for holiday travelers

After buying all of your Christmas gifts, the gas pump is giving your wallet some relief. According to AAA, the average gas price in Wisconsin was $2.76 per gallon, which is almost 25 cents where it was a month ago and just a little bit higher than where it was a year ago. AAA spokesperson Andrew Gross channeled the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer television special in his comments on Thursday, telling consumers to expect gas prices to bounce like Bumbles for the next month or so. The average gas price rose nationally six cents from Monday to $3.12, the first time that has happened in over a week. In Sturgeon Bay, a gallon of regular unleaded gas was between $2.67 and $2.69 as of Thursday morning. AAA expects more than 103.6 million Americans to take the road over the next two weeks to celebrate the holidays. That’s up nearly two percent from last year but still off by four percent of pre-pandemic levels, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence.
