Washington Gas Prices On The Rise

Gas prices in Washington Monday morning are up twenty cents from a month ago and more than a dollar from this time last year.

The average is $3.75 a gallon, which is a above the national average of $3.17.

Gas Buddy shows the cheapest gas in the Wenatchee area is $3.49 at Costco and the North Avenue Market.
The cheapest station in Washington is priced at $3.17 per gallon while the most expensive is $4.29 per gallon.

The national average is up 5.0 cents per gallon from a month ago and is 93.7 cents higher than a year ago.

"While the national average has seen a slight rise over the last week, we may see some stabilization coming to the pump as oil prices hold just under their 2021 peak from last week," said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy.

"Without additional crude oil supply coming online in the weeks ahead, we could see oil test $80 per barrel in the next couple of weeks. However, with U.S. gasoline demand falling slightly last week, we may have already seen peak consumption with the July 4 holiday. While the jury isn't quite in on that just yet, we're potentially only 4-6 weeks away from gas prices beginning a seasonal decline that we're likely all eagerly awaiting."
