Prices are still below where they hit record highs at the pumps last month, but you can still expect to pay more to gas up in the coming weeks. The average gas price in the Green Bay metro area has crept up again to $3.86 as of Thursday, which is a dime less than a month ago but 20 cents more than last week. Experts predict those prices will climb even higher if oil prices rebound and demand goes up as the summer begins. Randy Sahs from Sahs Auto and Collision Center says there are ways you can help stretch your gas further when you are driving.
Wisconsin is about 30 cents below the national average of $4.12 a gallon, with Californians, Nevadans, and Hawaiians paying more than $5 a gallon. The current gas prices are more than a dollar higher than what was paid at the same time last year.
