One BP gas station TMJ4's Elaine Rojas-Castillo went to had regular at $4.49 and ultimate at $5.49.
According to GasBuddy, Wisconsin's average for gas right now is at $4.11, which is up nearly 17 cents from last week.
The national average for gas right now is just under $4.32 a gallon, up from $4.14 a month ago.
