Gas prices in Hall County plunged 11 cents over the past week to $3.07 today for a gallon of regular unleaded.
The state average dipped by seven cents to $3.15 while the national average is down six cents to $3.38, reaching a price point last seen March 6.
“The clouds of war overseas are less dark at the moment and the Atlantic is quiet now too, which is taking pressure off of oil prices,” said Andrew Gross, AAA spokesman. “More retail locations east of the Rockies are selling gas below $3 a gallon. Will this trend continue through the end of the year? Stay tuned.”
