Including the change in gas prices in Arkansas during the past week, prices
yesterday were 0.8 cents per gallon higher than the same day one year ago
and are 6.7 cents per gallon lower than a month ago. The national average
has decreased 12.2 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 5.5
cents per gallon higher than this day one year ago.
"The national average has continued to see a steady decline over the last
week, and that trend will likely continue through this week at the very
least," said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. "Last
week, the Energy Information Administration reported one of the largest
single week increases in gasoline inventories in my recent memory, which
will likely contribute downward pressure to wholesale gasoline prices in the
days and perhaps weeks ahead," DeHaan said.
