Prices at the pump decline
Gas prices declined almost twenty cents since the first week of May, coming in this morning at $4.109, continuing the weeks-long trend of falling prices.
Prices have fallen four cents since last week’s price of $4.149. A month ago a gallon at the pump cost drivers $4.291.
While the cost has been slowly coming down, drivers are still paying over one dollar more than they were at this time last year.
The average gas price nationally is $3.771, down a little over a cent from last week.
