Drivers across Door and Kewaunee counties are feeling the pinch at the pump as fuel prices continue rising in March amid ongoing global tensions and recovery from Blizzard Elsa.

According to AAA data, the average price for a gallon of regular gasoline in Door County is about $3.29, while nearby Brown and Kewaunee counties report averages around $3.30 and $3.27 per gallon, respectively, up sharply over recent weeks.

Diesel remains significantly higher, with national averages approaching roughly $5.00 per gallon as supply disruptions linked to the ongoing conflict involving Iran continue to ripple through energy markets.

In addition to geopolitical influences, this weekend’s major Blizzard that swept across Northeast Wisconsin could secondarily affect fuel demand and delivery. White-out conditions marked by historic snowfall and strong winds, can slow travel and disrupt local fuel deliveries, leading to short-term supply bottlenecks at certain stations and temporary price spikes in the immediate aftermath.

Drivers on the peninsula should compare prices at nearby stations; some of Door County's lowest recent pump prices have been spotted in Sturgeon Bay, while Algoma and the city of Kewaunee often report some of the most competitive pricing in Kewaunee County. 

Fuel prices could remain volatile in the coming days and weeks as the situation in the Middle East evolves and weather-related logistics continue to recover from the blizzard’s impact.
