The average price for a gallon of gasoline in Ogden has reached $4.91 per gallon after a 20.9-cent increase since Sept. 21, according to a GasBuddy survey of 160 Ogden stations released on Monday, Sept. 28.
This increase brings the local average closer to the $5 per gallon mark.

According to the survey, the cheapest station in Ogden offered gas for $4.69 per gallon, while the most expensive station charged $4.99 per gallon.
Statewide, the average price rose 15.9 cents per gallon to $4.92 per gallon. In contrast, the national average price fell 1.6 cents per gallon to $4.42 per gallon, and the national average for diesel dropped 4.1 cents per gallon to $6.449 per gallon.
Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, stated that while average gasoline prices fell in slightly more than half of states over the last week, the West Coast saw prices jump significantly due to refinery snags. De Haan noted that with oil holding below $100 per barrel, many Americans may see modest declines ahead for gasoline, though the broader geopolitical situation remains fluid.
