Average retail gasoline prices in Savannah have fallen 3.8 cents a gallon in the past week to $3.38 a gallon on Sunday, according to GasBuddy's daily survey of 262 gas outlets in Savannah.
The national average also has fallen 3.8 cents a gallon in the last week to $3.57, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com.
Prices Sunday were 24.7 cents a gallon higher than the same day one year ago and are 1.4 cents a gallon higher than a month ago. The national average has decreased 9.5 cents a gallon during the last month and stands 12.0 cents higher than a year ago.
"Gasoline prices are certainly a bit wacky right now across the country with prices moving in difference directions, but from what we saw in the last few days with oil prices, I'm hopeful that most areas of the United States will see new or continued relief for at least the first half of this week, with some areas seeing a continued drop for most of this week," said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan.
