Michigan gas prices continue downward trend

Gas prices have now dropped for 18 days in a row (25 in TN & GA).

According to AAA, the average Rockford area gas price is now $2.33 per gallon.

Delaware-gas-prices-dot-com reports there are just over a dozen stations selling a gallon of regular for $2.43 or slightly less. That’s a dime less than last week and about 80 cents less than a year ago. Majority are located in Kent County, specifically in Dover.

“The pattern that we have been in for the last three weeks has been nice, but there is still lots of demand out there, so watch for some volatility”, he said.

The national average is $2.65, which is the lowest summer average since 2009. This is the longest decline in gas prices since January, says AAA officials.

Falling crude oil prices are to thank for these lower prices at the pump.

GasBuddy experts project the price of a gallon of gas could dip below $2 before the end of this year.
