The national average price of regular unleaded fell 4 cents to $2.35 per gallon for the week ending May 8, as a result of "an unseasonable glut of gasoline in the U.S. market," according to AAA.
The price is now 4 cents lower than a month ago and 14 cents lower than a year ago. In the past week, the average price in 46 states fell, including some by as much as 9 cents. The decline in prices is also a result of record high refinery production rates, moderate demand, and a recent drop in crude oil prices, according to AAA's weekly fuel report.
