Pinched at the pump; Rapid City gas prices rising
RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) – As the summer tourist season kicked off this past week, Black Hills residents and visitors are feeling the pinch at the gas pump.
Gas prices in Rapid City have jumped ten cents within the last week, likely because of the influx of tourists after Memorial Day and the corresponding increase in demand. Right now, Rapid City is sitting at an average of three dollars and fifty cents per gallon. Overall, South Dakota’s average gas price is $3.29 per gallon, which, compared to the national average, is still relatively cheap.
“South Dakota’s price is quite a bit less than the national average, about .27 cents less than the national average, and that puts us at about the 13th lowest gas price in the nation, so overall, not a too bad situation to experience when you go to fill up your tank right now,” said Shawn Steward, the spokesman for AAA South Dakota.
Despite election season coming up, Steward says he doesn’t believe anything geopolitical is affecting national gas prices.
