Drivers are seeing some relief at the pump this week as gas prices have gone down across Wisconsin.
Here's Civic Media's Melissa Kay.
Average gas prices fell 10.2 cents over the last week.
The average on Monday landing at 381 per gallon.
This is 16 cents lower than a month ago and 83 cents higher than this time last year.
While average gasoline prices fell in slightly more than half of states over the last week, gas buddy officials say motorists should expect prices to remain volatile in the weeks ahead.
Even though the Trump administration struck a major deal with Venezuela, it will likely be years before any benefits are seen at the pump.
Officials at GasBuddy say, quote, the factors with the most immediate impact on where prices go from here remain the ongoing developments between the U.S.
and Iran and continued Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries, end quote.
The deal with Venezuela signals that the White House remains concerned about elevated fuel prices, but any benefits from increased Venezuelan output will take years
to fully materialize.

Enbridge is temporarily halting construction on its Line 5 reroute following last week's gas leak in Iron County.
The 48-hour pause began Monday and comes after the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources asked Enbridge to stop work until the leak is resolved and steps are taken to prevent future spills.
The incident happened August 25th when a parked, unoccupied subcontractor truck rolled into an open excavation at an Enbridge Line 5 valve project near Saxon.
The truck struck the pipeline
releasing natural gas liquids into the air.
Enbridge estimates about 31,000 barrels or 1.3 million gallons of natural gas liquids, mainly propane and butane, vaporized into the atmosphere.
Crews are now using trailer-mounted flare stacks brought in over the weekend to burn off about 2,000 barrels or 84,000 gallons of remaining natural gas liquids in a controlled manner.
Enbridge says air monitoring is continuing while that work is underway and the half-mile evacuation zone remains in place
Local first responders have left the site and a private contractor is now helping with the response.
Enbridge says about 150 people are still working at the site and no injuries have been reported.
For now, Line 5 remains shut down with Enbridge hoping to restore service by September 5th.
