“The majority of state averages have pushed cheaper by a penny or two since last Monday. With the nation entering the fall driving season, which typically sees fewer road trips, a continued drop in demand will likely lead to pump prices continuing to decrease,” said Mary Maguire, AAA Northeast Director of Public and Legislative Affairs, in a press release.

AAA Northeast’s September 21 survey of fuel prices found the current national average to be 1 cent lower than last week ($2.19), averaging $2.18 a gallon.
