Fuel prices dropping. At the ubiquitous Kwik Trip stations, nine in Winna County, gasoline prices have continued their fall below $3 a gallon. He national average this week is down three cents to $3.16. The Hurricane Helene disaster had little effect on supplies. Infrastructure damage reduces demand – no roads, no bridges, no travel.
