Including the change in gas prices in Arkansas during the past week, prices
yesterday were 29.8 cents per gallon higher than the same day one year ago
and are 5.6 cents per gallon lower than a month ago. The national average
has decreased 0.8 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 33.2
cents per gallon higher than this day one year ago."In the last few years, we've typically seen a seasonal downward trend at
the gas pump as the cooler temperatures invade," said GasBuddy.com Senior
Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. "We just haven't seen any sort of real
decline at the pump yet this autumn. This year has seen one of the warmest
ever- temperatures and gasoline prices alike. High temperatures have been
blamed on global warming, perhaps we're seeing a long term "pump warming"
equivalent at retail pumps. Either way, the small drop in gasoline prices
isn't to the satisfaction of many, and I don't see enough relief to satisfy
the majority of American motorists any time soon," DeHaan said.About ArkansasGasPrices.com
