Despite the uncertainty rippling through the oil market in the days since Hamas terrorists attacked Israel, the cost of gas continues to drop in the United States.
The national average for a gallon of unleaded was $3.58 on Tuesday, representing a five-cent drop from Friday's price and 10 cents cheaper than a week ago, according to AAA.
"As long as this war does not spread to include more countries in the region, the effect on the oil market will remain muted," Andrew Gross, AAA spokesperson, said in a statement.
Tepid demand, alongside descending oil prices, has pushed pump prices lower, according to AAA. If oil prices continue to decline, drivers can expect further price drops at the pump in the weeks ahead.
"Here in the US, there are now nine states with some county gas averages below $3 a gallon, and this number will likely increase in the coming weeks," said Gross.
That's not to say gas is that inexpensive everywhere.
California currently leads the nation in high gas prices with an average of $5.58 per gallon, AAA reports.
