The average was $4.54 per gallon as of early Monday morning, according to a GasBuddy survey of 160 Ogden stations.

The cheapest station surveyed was $4.30 per gallon while the most expensive was $4.79 per gallon.

In a Standard-Examiner survey of 11 Layton stations late Sunday, the average price was $4.54 per gallon, up 11 cents per gallon from a week ago.

In Utah, the average was $4.56 per gallon, up 9.3 cents per gallon from a week ago, while the national average was $4.47 per gallon, down a cent per gallon from a week ago.

The national average price for diesel was $5.618 per gallon, down 0.5 cents per gallon from last week.

“The national average price of gasoline spent much of last week drifting lower after jumping early in the week as oil prices softened on hopes that diplomatic progress between the U.S. and Iran could help ease supply concerns,” Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said in a news release. “However, that optimism faded after President Trump’s meeting with China’s Xi Jinping failed to produce a breakthrough on Iran, while renewed warnings toward Tehran have helped push oil prices higher again. With global oil inventories continuing to trend toward historically tight levels, markets remain extremely sensitive to geopolitical developments and potential supply disruptions. As a result, gasoline and diesel prices are likely to remain volatile, and with Memorial Day approaching, any sustained increase in oil prices could begin pushing retail fuel prices higher again in the weeks ahead.”
