Wisconsin gas prices decrease as fall arrives, but why is that?
Ever notice around the month of September, gas prices become little cheaper?
There’s reasons for that.
As the weather gets cooler, less people are going on road trips, and not as many will be putting their boats in the lake. On top of that, school is back in session, so the roads won’t be as busy during a school day. Therefore, the demand for gas is less, according to Patrick Dehaan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy.
“What happens is that over the course of the summer, with demand being relatively weak, supply in pure gasoline built up to pretty adequate levels. There was plenty of supply,” Dehaan told the Green Bay Press-Gazette Wednesday. “And now that we’re out of summer, there’s even more supply in the market. A lot of what we’re seeing is seasonal and that demand was weak, and supply was, as a result, plentiful.”
The current average cost of fuel is at $2.97 in the state of Wisconsin, according to the American Automobile Association.
Appleton sits $2.91 currently, with Green Bay being just a little more expensive at $3.00. In Milwaukee it’s even cheaper, at $2.88.
Despite this trend, the gas prices can always be subject to change depending on events that can affect gas lines. For example, Wisconsin saw a gas spike back in 2022 due to a fire at a Ohio refinery, as well as Hurricane Ian causing disruptions to oil production in the Gulf of Mexico and impacting large coastal refineries.

According to Dehaan, the gas prices can be consistently low from now until around February, as once it gets warmer, more activity will result in more demand for fuel.
“There’s solid opportunity for gas prices to consistently be below $3 a gallon between now and February, and then next spring is the next time that we’ll see a very organized up upswing,” he said. “Gasoline is very seasonal. Just in the spring, we spring up, and in the fall, we fall.”

(WLUK) — The Wisconsin-Notre Dame game at Lambeau Field will be under the lights.
Kickoff will be at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 6.
The matchup, originally scheduled for Oct. 3, 2020, was rescheduled for 2026 after the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the 2020 football season.
The Badgers took on the Fighting Irish at Soldier Field in Chicago in 2021 as part of the Shamrock Series, the neutral-site non-conference series between the two programs. Notre Dame claimed the first game of the series 41-13.

Wisconsin last played at Lambeau Field in 2016 and scored a 16-14 win over No. 5 LSU.

DHS urges Wisconsin ‘sanctuary’ county to keep illegal immigrant accused in elderly sexual assaults jailed
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The Department of Homeland Security is urging “sanctuary politicians in Wisconsin” not to release a Nicaraguan national who was arrested after being accused of sexually assaulting an elderly victim, according to a statement Wednesday.
Julio Cesar Morales-Jarquin, 31, is in local police custody after being charged with two counts of second-degree sexual assault of an elderly victim, DHS said.
He was arrested last month after a residential care facility in Fitchburg, Wisconsin, reported to police that an employee may have assaulted vulnerable residents, according to local outlet WKOW.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) issued a detainer request on April 27 asking that Morales-Jarquin remain in custody.

DHS on Wednesday called on Dane County officials not to release Morales-Jarquin, accusing the county of being a “sanctuary jurisdiction” that refuses to honor ICE detainers.
The agency said the county has previously given ICE as little as 30 minutes to take custody of individuals in its jail.

According to DHS, Morales-Jarquin entered the United States in 2023 under the Biden administration’s humanitarian parole program for Nicaragua. Although the program was later ended, DHS said he remained in the country unlawfully.
“This illegal alien is charged with two counts of sexual assault of an elderly victim at an assisted living facility,” Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said in the DHS statement. “This dirtbag was released into the country by the Biden Administration. DHS is calling on sanctuary politicians in Dane County, Wisconsin to NOT release this criminal from jail back onto the streets to commit more crimes.”

“We need Wisconsin sanctuary politicians to cooperate with us to remove criminals from our country,” she added.
