Having a car that doesn't guzzle gas as fast as a drunk bonging a beer is helpful when the price is high. But how soon before buying gas is like chugging cheap beer again?

According to AAA, the average price for a gallon of gas in Sioux Falls is currently sitting at $2.79. That's virtually unchanged in the last two weeks, fortunately. One month ago the price was $2.64. A year ago, as many of us were about to stop driving on a daily basis by working from home, the price was only $1.99.

“A dip in demand along with a simultaneous increase in supply and refinery utilization has contributed to the slower movement in gas price increases,” said Marilyn Buskohl, AAA spokesperson said in a press release. “On the week, 32 states had increases of only 3 cents or less. This does not mean gas prices have hit their peak, but is a positive sign for consumers.”
