“The national average is poised to fall back under $4 per gallon as early as (Monday) as we see the decline in gas prices enter its eighth straight week,” said Patrick DeHaan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “By the end of the week, 100,000 stations will be at $3.99 or less. Diesel continues to decline as well, and will likely soon fall under $5 per gallon. We’ve even seen nearly a dozen stations in low-priced states fall under $2.99, a welcome return to some lucky motorists in areas of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Iowa. The groundwork is laid for a ninth week of decline, with areas of the West Coast soon ditching the $5 per gallon average. While I’m upbeat the drop can continue for another couple weeks, we’re starting to see some activity in the tropics, which may increase risk of potential disruption.”
