Gas Prices On The Rise In North Dakota

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Gasoline prices in North Dakota have increased during the past week, averaging $2.26 a gallon.

GasBuddy.com says average prices Sunday were about 10 cents higher compared to last month, but still more than 19 cents per gallon lower than during the same period a year ago.

In the Fargo area, the average gas price per gallon is $2.10.

Gregg Laskoski is senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy.com. He says that with children back in school, gasoline demand eases and refineries also return to the cheaper "winter-blend" gasoline, which should start reaching motorists later this week.
