\"AAA\"Tampa, FL<\/strong> – Gas prices fell for the eighth consecutive day Sunday. The national average price for a gallon of gasoline is nearly 3 cents cheaper than a week ago, but 18 cents more expensive than last month. Still, Sunday’s average price of $2.43 is $1.27 less than the peak price last year, saving motorists more than $19.00 for a full tank of gas.<\/p>\n

“The price of oil has not seen dramatic increases in the past couple of weeks and motorists are reaping the benefits,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA – The Auto Club Group. “Gas prices are at their lowest level this time of year since 2009, which will entice people to take a road trip this spring.”The price of oil dropped like a rock last week, which could signal lower prices at the pump in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

West Texas Intermediate settled at $44.84 a barrel on the NYMEX Friday – a decline of $5.16 from the closing price on Monday. Friday’s settlement is down 58 percent from the 52-week high of $107.73 reached June 20th. This was the lowest settlement since January 29th, and the third lowest since 2009.<\/p>\n

“Record high domestic oil production continues outpacing demand, which has helped keep oil prices lower than recent years,” Jenkins said. “Barring any unforeseen events, oil prices should remain below $100.00 a barrel this year, which would prevent gas prices from reaching $3.00 a gallon.”<\/p>\n
