(WLUK) -- With gas prices falling in the Green Bay area and rising in the Appleton area, trends flipped from the previous week.

According to GasBuddy, drivers in the Green Bay area were paying an average of $2.77 per gallon as of Monday, 4.5 cents lower than a week earlier, 11.7 cents lower than a month earlier and .9 cents lower than a year earlier. Prices as of Sunday ranged from $2.57 to $2.89 per gallon.

In the Appleton area, the average price of a gallon of gas jumped 7.1 cents over the previous week to $2.74.

"We've seen a second consecutive weekly rise in the national average, driven by price cycling that led stations in the Great Lakes region to restore their margins to normal levels ahead of millions of motorists traveling for Christmas," Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said in a news release.

"With oil prices continuing to move sideways, gas prices may hold near recent levels in the coming week. Meanwhile, in the Great Lakes, last week's price hikes will likely be rolled back as stations resume undercutting each other. As families travel for the holidays, this volatility at the pump serves as a great reminder to check prices before filling up to save as much as 25 to 50 cents per gallon -- a trend that will likely persist into 2025. As we close out the year, motorists can look forward to some good news at the pump in 2025, as GasBuddy prepares to release our 2025 Fuel Price Outlook."

The national average rose 3.1 cents per gallon over the past week to $3.01.
