After the average gas price dropped for the first time in months last week, it dropped again this week, reaching down to $3.39 per gallon, according to data
released by GasBuddy.
The average price is still 2.8 cents higher than a month ago, but it’s finally beginning to go down. And according to GasBuddy, the price of oil is a big factor.
“With oil prices plunging nearly $10 from the recent peak of $85 per barrel, motorists will start to see gas prices decline nationwide, just in time for Thanksgiving, and the decline could stretch for several weeks,” Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy, said in the blog post.
