Average retail gasoline prices in Savannah have risen 1.5 cents a gallon in the past week to $3.41a gallon on Sunday, according to GasBuddy's daily survey of 262 gas outlets in Savannah.
The national average has fallen 2.1 cents a gallon in the last week to $3.61, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com.
Prices Sunday were 20.5 cents a gallon higher than the same day one year ago and are 6.0 cents a gallon higher than a month ago. The national average has decreased 5.0 cents a gallon during the last month and stands 8.0 cents higher than a year ago.
"The national average has continued its downward decline in the last week, likely being helped by relief in the Great Lakes, a region that had been plagued with refining issues that have seemingly been resolved," said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. "While the national average stands higher than it did a year ago, we likely will see the average decline."
