Gas prices staying steady west of the Missouri River

RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) - With cold weather over the horizon, gas tanks should be filled to avoid a gas line freeze. So what’s the price while filling up this week?

For the state of South Dakota, gas prices are holding steady. According to AAA, the reason why there hasn’t been a noticeable price change in the past couple of weeks is that the demand for gas in the state is lower than usual.

”The average on Monday in South Dakota was $3.32 a gallon that’s down a couple of cents from a week ago and about $0.20 less than where we were about a year ago,” said South Dakota’s AAA spokesman Shawn Steward.
