(June 6, 2017) Nationally, the price of a gallon of gasoline increased one cent to $2.38 from last week; however, the price at the pump in 30 states has fallen as much as four cents. The moderate decline in gasoline prices is typical following a long holiday weekend, according to AAA statistics. Historically, the first three weeks of June generally can indicate whether consumers will sustain gasoline demand into summer months.

Today’s national average is two cents more than both a month and year ago.
