N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Average retail gasoline prices in the state are down.

GasBuddy.com reports that gasoline prices in North Dakota have fallen 6.1 cents, averaging around $2.20 per gallon. According to the latest report, this compares to the national average that has fallen 2.4 cents per gallon.

“October is a time we all expect gas prices to decline. Looking at the change in the U.S. average price for Octobers from 2015 to 2012, it’s dropped from Oct 1 to Oct. 31 by 12, 34, 11 and 26 cents respectively,” said Gregg Laskoski, senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy. “That’s an average decrease of 20 cents per gallon during the last four Octobers.”
