SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Gasoline prices in Salt Lake City have decreased 1 cent in the past week.

GasBuddy.com reports the average retail price of a gallon of gas in the area is $2.37. That’s according to a survey of 380 gas outlets.

Gas prices in Salt Lake City Sunday were about 14 cents a gallon higher than a year ago and around 8 cents lower than a month ago.
