Arkansas Weekly Gas Price Update

Arkansas, June 4- Average retail gasoline prices in Arkansas have fallen 4.7

cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.25/g yesterday. This

compares with the national average that has fallen 4.5 cents per gallon in

the last week to $3.61/g, according to gasoline price website

ArkansasGasPrices.com.

Including the change in gas prices in Arkansas during the past week, prices

yesterday were 30.3 cents per gallon lower than the same day one year ago

and are 29.2 cents per gallon lower than a month ago. The national average

has decreased 18.2 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 16.2

cents per gallon lower than this day one year ago.

"An impressive decline in average gasoline prices will now be extended as

the West Coast begins to see lower prices in the days ahead," said

GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. "With significant

downward pressure on oil prices last week, motorists will continue to see

prices sliding east of the Rockies, and even the West Coast will start to

get in on the action, thanks to a supply situation that appears to be

turning around. Also pushing down oil prices last week was a frightening

jobs report, as well as continued concerns about European debt problems,"

DeHaan said.
