THE RIGHT Gas Falls to $4.02, Down 34 Cents in a Month, AAA Says
Prices are still about a dollar above where they stood a year ago, when the national average was $3.07.
The national average for a gallon of regular gasoline fell to $4.0203 on Sunday, AAA reported, the lowest reading in weeks.
That is down from $4.1732 a week ago and $4.3612 a month ago, a drop of about 34 cents over the past month. AAA's own headline on the data read "National Average Falls 12 Cents in One Week."
The relief is real but partial. A year ago the national average was $3.0731, meaning drivers are still paying roughly 95 cents more per gallon. Among the states AAA listed, Hawaii was highest at $5.6634 and Delaware lowest at $3.9017.
Gas prices are political fuel heading out of the midterms. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has blamed the Iran conflict for higher prices, while the administration has pointed to disruption of commercial shipping tied to the same conflict. Either way, the trend at the pump is now moving in a direction drivers will welcome.
