Average retail gasoline prices in Savannah have fallen 8.7 cents a gallon in the past week to $3.37 a gallon on Sunday, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 262 gas outlets in Savannah.
The national average has fallen 4.5 cents a gallon in the last week to $3.54, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com.
Prices Sunday were 34.6 cents a gallon lower than the same day one year ago and are 5.4 cents a gallon lower than a month ago. The national average has decreased 2.7 cents a gallon during the last month and stands 31.6 cents lower than a year ago.
“While there certainly are a few issues that could impact gasoline prices on our plate, the switch over back to winter gasoline has begun, and I do expect that gas prices may continue to move downward this week for most of the United States,” said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan.
“By Halloween, my expectation is the national average will stand five to fifteen cents per gallon lower than where it is today.”
