A day many never thought would ever happen again has finally happened here in Bismarck. The price of a regular gallon of gas has dropped below $2 a gallon for the first time in over a decade!
After 20 barrels of natural gas condensate spilled near a tributary of the Little Missouri River, regulators were on the hunt for the culprit. Turns out, it was just a cow.
With the major winter driving season over, most of us would expect a bit of a reprieve in gas prices... but the exact opposite is happening. In the last 14 days, Regular Unleaded prices have skyrocketed from $3.19/gal to the $3.49/gal that you will see at most gas stations today.
It's always a good thing when you can have extra money in your pocket, and you'll find that change in your pocket this week as gas prices continue to fall in the Bismarck-Mandan area.
The price for fuel have remained steady for the last few months locally in Bis-Man and good news for the record number of travelers that plan to hit the roads for Labor Day.
