After falling to a multi-year low of $3.18 per gallon on Nov. 12, the national average price of gasoline inched higher for six straight days, reports AAA. The national average at the pump on Nov. 18 was two cents more expensive than one week earlier, but it remains 15 cents cheaper than one month ago and 21 cents less than the same day last year. Average prices nationally have fallen 39 cents since September 1, writes Michael Green, manager of AAA public relations.
Average gas prices in every state and Washington, D.C. are less — in many cases substantially — than both one month ago and one year ago, however price movement over the last week has been a mixed bag, Green writes in AAA’s weekly Fuel Gauge Report.
