The national average for a gallon of gasoline is down six cents from what it was a week ago, but the price went up a bit in Georgia and Gainesville.
The average in Gainesville is $3.62 compared to $3.60 last Monday. The state average is $3.62; last week it was $3.61. Meanwhile, the national average is $4.09.
AAA says crude oil prices have come down below $100/barrel, helping drive down the cost of gasoline for most consumers. But how long the downward trend will last is uncertain with continued instability along the Strait of Hormuz.
