Gas prices drop in metro Savannah
Average retail gasoline prices in Savannah have fallen 4.0 cents a gallon in the past week to $3.34 a gallon on Sunday, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 262 gas outlets in Savannah.
The national average has fallen 1.4 cents a gallon in the last week to $3.25, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com.
Prices Sunday were 5.0 cents a gallon higher than the same day one year ago and are 12.7 cents higher than a month ago. The national average has decreased 1.3 cents a gallon during the last month and stands 14.2 cents lower than a year ago.
“With Thanksgiving behind us it appears that a nominal decline in retail gasoline prices will ring in the first week of December for most parts of the country,” said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Gregg Laskoski. “With the government’s report of healthy fuel inventories and U.S. refinery output reaching its highest level since early October, the savings at the pump is coming just in time.”
