“Today’s national average is two cents less than a week and month ago and 49 cents cheaper than last year,” said Mary Maguire, AAA Northeast Director of Public and Legislative Affairs, in a press release. “Decreases in U.S. gasoline demand, supply and imports pushed the national and 44 state gas price averages cheaper on the week.”
