Ogden gas price average by weekOGDEN – The average price for a gallon of gasoline in Ogden rose 7.4 cents per gallon to $4.70 per gallon over the past week, according to a weekly GasBuddy survey of 160 stations in the city, the highest the average has been since the initial surge in early March.
The average has risen 41 cents over the last two weeks, $1.07 over the last 11 weeks and is $2.01 higher than on March 2.
“Average gasoline prices rose in virtually every state over the last week, with 45 states seeing increases of more than 3 cents per gallon, led by the Great Lakes region where refinery issues sent Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, and Wisconsin all up more than 30 cents per gallon,” Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said in a news release that included the survey. “Diesel rose in every state, with five states seeing increases exceeding 50 cents per gallon, as continued strikes on Russian oil refineries tighten global diesel supply- a pressure further amplified in the Great Lakes by regional refinery issues. Any broader directional change will depend heavily on overseas developments, and with new Houthi attacks and fresh U.S.-Iran escalations, the outlook remains deeply uncertain.”
The cheapest Ogden station was $4.49 per gallon while the most expensive was $4.89 per gallon.
Across the state, the average is up 9.8 cents per gallon to $4.76 per gallon, while nationally, the average jumped 18.5 cents per gallon to $4.44 per gallon.
The national average price of diesel is up 30.7 cents per gallon to $6.490 per gallon.
