Sioux Falls gas prices

Gas prices are up in South Dakota and several other central U.S. states, while they plummet across the rest of the country. AAA South Dakota says you can blame it on problems at a Texas refinery that forced up the price of gas for consumers from South Dakota to Oklahoma, along the Magellan Pipeline.

The state average for gasoline in South Dakota is at its high for the year at $2.79 a gallon. That's the highest average price since last November.

“These price spikes are in stark contrast to what is happening in other parts of the country, ” spokeswoman for AAA South Dakota Marilyn Buskohl said. “In fact, the national average has been moving steadily downward, dropping more than two cents in the past week to $2.75 per gallon.”
