Average retail gasoline prices in Savannah fell 3.3 cents a gallon last week to $3.46 a gallon on Sunday, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 262 gas outlets in Savannah. The national average has fallen 3.7 cents a gallon in the last week to $3.61/g, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com.
Prices Sunday were 4.6 cents a gallon lower than the same day one year ago and 9.9 cents a gallon lower than a month ago. The national average has decreased 4.3 cents a gallon during the last month and stands unchanged compared to one year ago.
“The last two weeks have seen some large drops in oil prices and gasoline spot prices, a very exciting thing to see in the middle of the summer driving season,” said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. “Motorists have some nice relief coming at the pump to look forward to in the next week to two as these drops make it to retail outlets.
”Over the next week, the national average will fall back under $3.50 a gallon, something we haven’t seen since April, and will also drop under last year’s average in the next few days.”
