GRAND FORKS, N.D. - North Dakota drivers can expect to see "sharply lower gas prices" in the near future, perhaps the same level seen at the end of October 2011, according to AAA of North Dakota.
The cost of a gallon of gas is at an average of $3.87 statewide compared to $3.56 a year ago this month, AAA reported. In Grand Forks, gas averages $3.80 and, in Fargo, it is $3.69 compared to averages of $3.52 and $3.40, respectively, a year ago.
AAA said Wednesday that wholesale gasoline prices have "dropped dramatically" in many areas of the country, and retail prices in Ohio, Missouri and rural parts of Illinois and Indiana are nearing $3 a gallon.
