Tim’s Observations:

To drive or to not drive? That’s the query on everybody’s lips this Memorial Day weekend.

That is partly because of airfares grabbing about 25% greater than cash than final yr and partly as a result of after COVID restrictions and a an extended Wyoming winter, persons are prepared get out of Dodge. 

What can we count on this weekend on the pump? Wyoming’s common sits at an eye-popping $4.30 cents for a gallon of standard gasoline. 

It’s solely Friday, so with traits being upwards, I wouldn’t be stunned if by Monday, we could possibly be a cent or two larger. A cent or two larger doesn’t sound like lots to some individuals, however keep in mind, we’re $1.27 larger than this time final yr. 

For many of us, we really feel like that proverbial frog in a soup pot. The one query is, how excessive will our restrict be? How a lot warmth can we take? 

With costs predicted to common $5 per gallon nationally by August, and Wyoming lagging about 20 cents behind, this could be the very best time to hit the street.
