Gas Below $3 A Gallon In Sioux Falls

By Robert Wilson

Wednesday afternoon a representative for AAA told KSFY he sees the price of fuel trending down for the foreseeable future.

There are a couple reasons.

People are concerned about the economy.

We've now passed the heaviest driving season, production levels are back up after taking a dip after Hurricanes Ike and Gustav, and refineries don't have to make as many different blends of fuel now as the do during the summer.

Drivers say, whatever the reason, they like it.

"I had noticed it before earlier today and thought by golly, under three bucks a gallon. It's hard to say that sounds cheap, but it does sound cheap comparatively," said Bob Johnson.

While prices in Sioux Falls are under three dollars, the averages for the Tri-State Area are still much higher.

Here in South Dakota, a gallon of Regular Unleaded is averaging $3.38.

In Minnesota, the average price at the pump is $3.20.

And in Iowa it's $3.17.

The National Average is $3.45.
