CAMARILLO, Calif. (AP) - The average price of a gallon of regular-grade gasoline fell 7 cents nationally over the past two weeks to $2.56.
Industry analyst Trilby Lundberg of the Lundberg Survey said Sunday that the drop comes as crude oil prices drop and flooded refineries on the hurricane-battered Gulf Coast return to operation.
Lundberg says she expects further price cuts as refiners make cheaper “winter grade” gasoline.
