  • This compares with the national average that has fallen 4.3 cents per gallon
    in the last week to $3.81/g, according to gasoline price website
    ArkansasGasPrices.com.
    Including the change in gas prices in Arkansas during the past week, prices
    yesterday were 27.5 cents per gallon higher than the same day one year ago
    and are 8.7 cents per gallon higher than a month ago. The national average
    has increased 8.8 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 29.0
    cents per gallon higher than this day one year ago.
    "The national average has begun to drop nicely over the last week, and while
    it certainly doesn't feel like much, it is noteworthy," said GasBuddy.com
    Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. "Oil prices were all over the map
    last week, closing in on $100/bbl one day and dropping to $92/bbl later in
    the week. I've probably had more double takes watching oil prices in the
    last week than I've had all summer. Watching oil prices last week was as
    wild as watching the Detroit Tigers try to take a division lead over the
    White Sox," DeHaan said.
