Trend Analysis:
Gas prices are lower again this week as the national average is four cents cheaper at $3.10. This is 45 cents less than a month ago and 18 cents less than a year ago.
Based on recent data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gasoline demand has increased slightly. Higher demand, coupled with fluctuating oil prices, could cause pump price decreases to become smaller as the year ends. However, the overall general trend for gas prices is expected to continue downward as the country settles into the winter driving season.
