(Wisconsin) There’s gas for sale for less than four dollars a gallon in parts of Wisconsin. Triple-A says the average price of a gallon of regular in Wisconsin is four-dollars, 22-cents, but that prices vary. Drivers are sharing photos of lower gas prices on social media. The average price of gas in Wisconsin is 70-cents cheaper than the peak of four-dollars, 92-cents last month.
In Dodge County, gas prices average around four-dollars-and-twenty-four-cents a gallon. Pump prices are faring slightly better to our north as gas is averaging four-dollars-fifteen-cents a gallon in Fond du Lac County. It is four-dollars-and-nine-cents in Columbia County, just over four-twenty-seven in Jefferson County, it’s four-twenty-three in Green Lake County, and four-dollars-and-forty-six-cents in Washington County.
Meanwhile, Governor Tony Evers is issuing an emergency order banning price-gouging of gasoline and diesel fuel in Wisconsin. Increasing demand for oil, limited global supply, and low refinery capacity all account for the recent spike in fuel prices over recent months.
The governor’s order urges consumers who suspect price gouging to file a complaint with the Wisconsin Bureau of Consumer Protection. Evers’ order will expire on December 1st.
