Wisconsin Gas Prices Could Rise, Again

Updated: Tue 10:30 AM, Sep 20, 2005

Brace yourself for another round of gas price hikes because of Tropical Storm Rita.

The Wisconsin Petroleum Council executive director Erin Roth says if Rita builds to a category four hurricane, it could be as devastating to his industry as Katrina.

The American Automobile Association says the average price of a gallon of regular unleaded gas in Wisconsin is $2.78, after reaching a record $3.11 September 4th.

Roth says Katrina has shaken America's energy industry.

Triple-A Wisconsin spokeswoman Nancy Cain says part of the reason gas prices have dropped since Katrina is because fuel demand has subsided now that the summer driving season is over.
