AAA says Seasonal Gas Prices are lowest in 12 Years
August 8, 2016
Tampa, FL – Motorists are finding the lowest gas prices for this time of year since 2004. Sunday’s national average price of $2.12 is 24 cents above the average price 12 years ago, but remains 50 cents less than a year ago and $1.36 less than two years ago.
“Gas prices across most of the country continue to slide during the peak road-trip season due to abundant supplies,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA – The Auto Club Group. “With gasoline supplies high and oil prices low, pump prices are likely to remain relatively cheap through the remainder of the summer and into the fall. Motorists can now find gas prices under $2.00 a gallon at 44 percent of gas stations across the country.”
