Average retail gasoline prices in Savannah have fallen 4.6 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 4.9 cents a gallon in the last week to $3.51, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com.
Prices Sunday were 14.1 cents a gallon lower than the same day one year ago and are 19.0 cents a gallon lower than a month ago. The national average has decreased 16.5 cents a gallon during the last month and stands 11.7 cents lower than this day one year ago.
“The national average as of today has been on decline for a month straight,” said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. “The drop in gas prices during the middle of the summer certainly has been welcome relief to families and individuals alike who are hitting the road during the peak of the summer driving season.
“The national average now stands at its lowest point since March of this year, and will likely drop under $3.50 a gallon by mid-week.”
