- Average retail gasoline prices in Savannah have fallen 2.8 cents a gallon in the past week to $3.28 a gallon on Sunday, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 262 gas outlets in Savannah.
The national average has fallen 4.2 cents a gallon in the last week to $3.3, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com.
Prices Sunday were 14.8 cents a gallon lower than the same day one year ago and 4.9 cents a gallon lower than a month ago. The national average has decreased 6.7 cents a gallon during the last month and stands 14.9 cents lower than a year ago.
“The brief increase in the national average now appears over, as gas prices this past week have resumed their decline,” said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. “Not a single state saw its gas price average rise in the last week, certainly an impressive feat compared to last week.
“The good news doesn’t end there, either: Prices will likely continue declining in the week ahead as EPA summer gasoline requirements end today in much of the country, ushering in cheaper to produce winter gasoline. Over the next month or two it is likely the national average will fall another 10-20 cents per gallon to some of the lowest prices of 2014. Additionally, some states in the south will see their average prices drop under $3/gal- perhaps even in time for Halloween.”
