Tim’s Observations:
Although the statewide average ticked down by 1 cent per gallon Sunday, it looks like most cities on our sampled list of major Wyoming cities and towns saw an increase at the pump by as much as 10 cents per gallon.
Only a small percentage of those cities saw a decline in price Sunday — and most of those saw price cuts of only a couple of cents per gallon. If you are seeing an increase, there might be a wave of small price drops coming before prices rise again.
As the summer driving season approaches, prices should continue to trend upward. In the coming days, I’ll give you tips on saving fuel. Some of the tips are common sense, but a refresher course might be a good thing for us all right now.
