Areas near Wyoming and their current gas price climate:

Fort Collins- $2.83/g, down 1.4 cents per gallon from last week's $2.84/g.

Ogden- $3.12/g, down 1.2 cents per gallon from last week's $3.14/g.

Billings- $2.88/g, up 2.5 cents per gallon from last week's $2.85/g.

"Finally some moderation has hit tens of thousands of gas stations across the country, following the drop in oil prices in recent days," said Patrick DeHaan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy. "We may have dodged a bullet in avoiding the $3 per gallon level for now, but not everything is rosy yet. While nearly forty states saw average prices drop in the last week, ten still saw small increases, so this is not an all-inclusive party by any means. Prices remain well above their year ago level, costing the country $228 million more every day versus a year ago. Moving forward, all eyes remain on OPEC and their coming meeting to see if they'll push oil prices higher, or if they'll allow a respite for the summer driving season."
