Gas prices down 6 cents nationally to $2.16 a gallon

Despite a slight jump in the past week, Missouri’s gas prices are at a 12 year low.

The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in San Diego County dropped today to its lowest amount since March 21, decreasing 1.1 cents to $2.729.

Gas prices are even cheaper in Orlando, at $1.93 a gallon.

This marks the eighth straight week that pump prices have fallen in New Jersey.

The statewide per-gallon gas price for unleaded regular was $2.05 on Monday, about 2 cents less than a week ago and 17 cents less than a month ago.

Despite the summer road trip season, abundant gas supplies and lower oil prices continue to drive gasoline prices down, said Will Speer, a senior petroleum analyst at GasBuddy.

That wasn’t the case in South Florida, where high local taxes keep prices well above the state average.

Salem- $2.38/g, down 3.3 cents per gallon from last week’s $2.42/g. That’s down. That’s down almost 50 cents per gallon in the past year. This was evident in a recent Energy Information Administration report, which revised the mark for USA gasoline demand in May lower by 213,000 barrels per day to 9.436 million.

As a result, he said crude oil prices ended the week higher.

This week’s price is three cents less than one week ago, 15 cents less than one month ago and 52 cents less than the same date previous year.

Despite the lowest seasonal prices in more than a decade, unexpected events could trigger higher prices, AAA said. GasBuddy had the average at $2.121, down 1.2 cents in a week, 13.1 cents in a month and 48.7 cents compared to the $2.608 its survey found for previous year. That price is, however, five cents higher than the lowest price found last week.
