Tim’s Observations:
As gas prices continue to rise, it seems there’s nowhere to run. I do mean that quite literally. The spots in the state that had formerly boasted the state’s lowest gas prices are seeing those costs rise to the middle of the price range.
One example is Cheyenne, where the price of gas as recently as a couple of months ago was ranging from $3.69 to $3.99 per gallon but is now averaging $4.61.
Even the overnight jumps are causing people to doubt their eyesight. In today’s report, Newcastle went from $4.47 to $4.85 in just 24 hours.
In the last one and one-half months, gas prices in Wyoming have risen by from 15 to 25 cents per gallon per week. Is this a pace we can handle when there’s no place to run to?
Note: Just before posting this report, I checked the Wyoming average, only to find it up another penny from the $4.77 cents I started with.
