Prices at the Pump
Heading into the Labor Day weekend, Montana consumers are paying for Dick Cheney and Conrad Burns’ failed energy policy at the pump. The price of gasoline here is the second highest in the country, following only Hawaii in a national survey of fuel prices conducted by AAA.
A gallon of regular gasoline in Montana averaged $3.12 on Wednesday, according to AAA’s Daily Fuel Report Gauge. That was 20 cents a gallon over the national average of $2.82. Montana’s price was second in the nation; Hawaii stations charged an average of $3.34 and California was third at $3.10.
Here in Helena prices at many stations fell to $2.99 for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline. That’s still far above the national average of $2.82 a gallon.
