Compared to a week ago, the average for regular unleaded in Hall County is $2.72 today, down another six cents. The statewide average declined five cents over the past seven days to $2.85. And the national price today is $3.36.
AAA says the “steady, if slow, decline” may gain speed after recent drops in the price of oil. Parked in the mid-$80s per barrel a week ago, oil is now hovering around the mid-$70s. Since it is the main ingredient in gasoline, less expensive oil usually leads to falling gas prices.
“We still need to cast a wary eye on global events, which may roil the oil market and spike prices,” said spokesman Andrew Gross. “But domestic gas prices are amid their usual seasonal swoon. Pump prices have fallen or remained flat every day since September 19.”
