Wisconsin’s average is almost $3 even, down a cent or two in the past week, but 4 cents higher than a month ago. 

La Crosse’s average pump price is $3.08 per gallon, which has increased 10 cents in the past month, and is a full dollar higher than last July. 

For now, La Crosse has the highest pump price of any major market in Wisconsin, and Wausau is the only other large city in the state with a price average above 3 dollars.
