North Dakota gas prices continue to climb

BISMARCK, N.D. (KVRR/KCND) – Gas prices in North Dakota have risen about 5 cents per gallon in the past week.

The website “GasBuddy.com” says prices now average $2.79 per gallon.

Those prices are 41 cents higher than they were a month ago, and 64 cents higher than one year ago.

The cheapest gas station in North Dakota is selling regular unleaded for $2.51, while the most expensive is at $3.19.

AAA says the price of crude, which accounts for more than half of the price at the pump, showed signs of stability on the week fluctuating between $64–$66 per barrel.

AAA says the price jumps are likely not to be so substantial by April.
