Gas is getting cheaper in Appleton. Regular unleaded fell from $4.52 a gallon on Oct. 23 to $3.84 on Nov. 9, WBAY reported. Statewide, AAA put the average at $3.92 on Monday, the first time below $4 since Sept. 9.

  • Statewide peak: $4.52 on Oct. 24
  • Appleton, per AAA: $3.83 on Nov. 9
  • Versus last November: about $1.08 more per gallon

Refinery problems have largely been resolved, and cheaper winter gasoline, lower demand and more oil moving through the are all helping. 's Patrick De Haan said prices could drop another 20 to 40 cents over the next few weeks. He also pushed back on the election theory: "Many will assume the election had something to do with it, but that's a myth," he said on X.
