You may have noticed that filling up your vehicle this summer has seen a rollercoaster of gas prices at the pump. Although gas prices are higher than they were this spring, according to AAA, the current average price of regular gasoline in the state is $3.65 per gallon, compared to $3.67 last year at this time. As of Wednesday, most gas stations in Sturgeon Bay are pricing regular gas at $3.59 per gallon. Kari Baumann, manager of Baileys Harbor 57 says she doesn’t know the cause of the recent price volatility, but they try to buy the wholesale gasoline at the best time and lowest prices.
Baumann adds that this summer has been a record-breaking summer at the convenience store and that people are not holding back from spending more money while traveling.
One significant change in gas prices is good news for the trucking industry. Diesel gasoline prices at the pump have seen a significant drop in the past year. A gallon of diesel fuel was $4.76 in August 2023 and now averages $4.09 in the state.
