“Cheaper winter gas prices are being seen for the bulk of the country as gasoline demand hits the lowest mark since February,” said Jeanette Casselano, AAA spokesperson. “On the week, 90 percent of states saw their gas price average drop – some even by double digits.”
The states with the largest weekly decreases include Indiana (14 cents), Ohio (12 cents), Illinois (11 cents), and Michigan (9 cents).
Meanwhile, several states in the West Coast are paying some of the highest prices, despite the continuing nationwide price drop, including Hawaii ($3.28), Alaska ($3.23), California ($3.16), Washington ($2.98), Oregon ($2.83) and Nevada ($2.71), reports AAA.
Meanwhile, the average price of a gallon of diesel dropped 0.4 cents per gallon to $2.922, which is 44.2 cents higher than a year ago, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
National average jumps to $4.04 per gallon, up sharply from last year, with West Coast prices topping $5 and further increases expected amid rising oil tensions.
