After Short Uptick, Gas Prices Dropping Again
Published at | Updated at
Wavebreak Media/Thinkstock(WASHINGTON) — New numbers from the Energy Department show the price of regular unleaded gas has dropped two cents in the past week. The national average to fill up now stands at $3.27 a gallon for regular fuel. Prices at the pump are also down about 12 cents compared to the same week last year, according to the Energy Department.
Drivers in the Midwest, Gulf Coast and Rocky Mountains are paying the least for their gas with the average price at around $3.12.
But prices aren’t dropping everywhere. The data shows states with the most expensive gas are still seeing prices rise. In New York, regular unleaded gas has gone up 3 cents in the past week, now at $3.61 per gallon. Prices also rose 3 cents in California where drivers are paying an average of $3.58.
