(KELO)– Gas prices across the country are falling. The national average is sitting at $3.94, which is down 12 cents from last week.In South Dakota, the average price for gas is $3.88.Diesel prices are also dropping after record highs in recent months.The national average is still over $6 a gallon, and in South Dakota, diesel is sitting at around $5.76.Shawn Steward with Triple A South Dakota says gas prices are falling right now because crude oil prices are down.“That makes up 50 to 60 percent of the cost of each gallon of gas that we fill up with. So, when we see those per-barrel costs of crude oil coming down, it’s what we want to see when we go to fill up our tanks, for sure,” Steward said.While prices are down from what they were this summer, they are still higher than in previous years, though.“2026 is the first time that we ever saw a $4 national gas price average in November. So, we have seen that come down here the last two days, we’re now below four dollars at a national average, but traditionally this is a time when we see prices coming down. So these are record prices for this time of year. Typically in the fall, we start seeing prices drop because of demand falling and also the winter blend of gasoline in the system, which is less expensive to produce. Obviously, a whole different dynamic this year with the global geopolitical issues going on impacting crude oil supply,” Steward said.We also spoke to Steward about how people traveling for the holidays can save some money on the road.You can catch our full conversation with him on this week’s Your Money Matters More.It airs tomorrow night at 6:30 and again Saturday morning at 8:30 Central Time on KELOLAND Plus.</div></body>
