Gas Price Decline May Be Coming To An End

The nation’s average gas price has fallen again for the 14th consecutive week, but it’s the smallest weekly decline in months, according to AAA.

It is the longest downward trend since 2015, but the consecutive downfall could be coming to an end.

The national average for a gallon of gas has fallen $1.34 since its peak in mid-June,” AAA spokesperson Andrew Gross said in a statement.

The website Gasbuddy.com reports the national average price of fuel is down 25.7 cents from a month ago but is still 45.9 cents higher than a year ago.

Most of the country is now using winter-blend fuel, which is less expensive than summer blends. AAA reports that only California has yet
to make the switch, which is slated to happen on Nov. 1.

Some gas stations in Fond du Lac saw as much as a 15 cent increase at the pumps Monday.
