OGDEN, Utah — After a steady decline in gas costs over the past year — largely driven by decreased demand amid the COVID-19 pandemic — experts warn that prices at the pump are poised to rise in 2021.
The Ogden-Clearfield Metropolitan Area saw gas prices fall in each month after COVID-19 cases began cropping up in Utah in March 2020. And during the past month, the trend continued, as average gas prices fell by 6.5 cents a gallon, according to GasBuddy, a Boston-based tech company that tracks real-time fuel prices across the United States.
