Prices are relaxing some, according to A-A-A and ColumbiaGasPrices.com
COLUMBIA (WACH) – After several weeks of rising prices, the average price of a gallon of gas in the Midlands is down just over 8 cents, according to ColumbiaGasPrices.com, to $3.54.
The national average has also fallen, although at a slower pace, to $3.81 a gallon. Triple A reports that 10 states now have gas over 4 dollars a gallon, which is impacting the overall average.
"The national average has begun to drop nicely over the last week, and while it certainly doesn't feel like much, it is noteworthy," said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. "Oil prices were all over the map last week, closing in on $100 per barrel one day and dropping to $92 later in the week. I've probably had more double takes watching oil prices in the last week than I've had all summer. Watching oil prices last week was as wild as watching the Detroit Tigers try to take a division lead over the White Sox," DeHaan said.
