Another day, another gas price spike in Wisconsin.

While diesel gas hit another all-time record for the sixth day in a row — at $6.19 per gallon — the more drastic spike Thursday, Sept. 17, was a nearly $0.25 jump in regular-grade gasoline.

According to AAA, the average gallon of regular gasoline cost $4.34 across Wisconsin on Thursday, Sept. 17. That's 23 cents more than Wednesday's peak of $4.11. Both price points are the highest gas has ever been this late in the year.

Normally, gas retailers can start slashing prices by 10-15 cents as pumps switch to a cheaper winter blend of gasoline. Geopolitical factors in Iran, Saudi Arabia and Russia have reversed any potential gains in gas prices.

It's the second price spike in as many weeks. Wisconsin's average gallon of gas cost 61 cents less just eight days ago: $3.73 on Sept. 8 and $4.05 on Sept. 11 compared to Thursday's $4.34.

Northern counties have the most expensive gas right now. Iron County had the highest average on Thursday, clocking in $4.47 per gallon for regular gas. Wisconsin's cheapest counties are more scattered with Menomonee County hitting $4.10, Buffalo County to the west at $4.23 and Racine County in the southeast at $4.24 per gallon.

Across the various price spikes Wisconsin has had since February, gas experts maintain that the Strait of Hormuz must reopen, Russia must restart diesel exports and retailers need months of inventory recovery before any relief can be seen at the consumer pump.
