SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) — Crude oil and gas prices have been on a roller coaster over the past few months, with sharp peaks and slow slides.
Shawn Steward with AAA South Dakota says to expect more of the same.
He says a lot goes into the price of a gallon of gas.
Steward says we are also getting to the summer travel season.
AAA is reporting the national average gas price at four thirteen a gallon, while in South Dakota, the average is three ninety-four.
