Motorists Stunned by Latest Leap in Gas Prices
WBAY-TV Green Bay
July 11, 2007
Gas prices continue to rise across Northeast Wisconsin. Early Wednesday afternoon, gas stations in Appleton, Green Bay, and Manitowoc were all reporting regular unleaded gas was $3.19.9 a gallon -- up ten cents from the day before.
But by Wednesday evening there were reports of gas stations raising prices again to $3.29.9 a gallon -- an increase of as much as 25 cents from the weekend.
Drivers were paying $3.39.9 a gallon in Oshkosh. Prices in Milwaukee were even higher, starting at $3.49.9 a gallon.
Many of these stations also were selling gas for $3.04.9 just three days earlier.
While gas prices in Green Bay seem to be a bargain compared to Milwaukee, Oshkosh, and places north, drivers are far from hailing victory. No one we talked with expected this sudden surge in the price of gas.
