Sunday’s state average was $3.49 per gallon -- the lowest daily average price since late July.
“Gas prices are moving lower, even as the price of oil remains near 2023 highs,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA - The Auto Club Group. “Now that the summer driving season is over, gasoline demand has declined, but gasoline production is stronger than a year ago. Gasoline futures logged a second-consecutive 18 cent drop, which should signal another round of falling prices at the pump this week.”
AAA reported that the price of oil settled at $90.79 per barrel -- 1% more than the week before.
