The cost to gas up your car is dropping across the country.
The average price of gas dropped eight cents over the past week, bringing the national average to $3.48 per gallon, according to AAA. It marks the largest weekly drop of the year.
"This drop in pump prices appears to have some sticking power for now," Andrew Gross, AAA spokesperson, said in a statement. "More states should see their averages dip below $3 a gallon in the coming weeks."
According to data from the Energy Information Administration, gas demand dipped from 9.14 barrels per day to 8.94 last week. Meanwhile, total domestic gasoline stocks jumped from 228.8 to 230.9 million bbl (bbl refers to a barrel of crude oil, which is 42 gallons).
"Tepid gasoline demand, increasing supply, and falling oil costs will likely lead to falling pump prices," AAA said.
Since last Thursday, these 10 states have seen the largest changes in their averages:
• Indiana (-17 cents)
• Alaska (-16 cents)
• Illinois (-13 cents)
• Florida (-13 cents)
• Michigan (-13 cents)
• Ohio (-13 cents)
• Kentucky (-13 cents)
• Nevada (-11 cents)
• California (-11 cents)
• Wisconsin (-10 cents)
California currently leads the nation in high gas prices with an average of $4.98 per gallon, AAA reports.
