The cost of gasoline continues to fall across the country.

The average price of gas dropped another two cents over the past week, bringing the national average to $3.07 per gallon, according to AAA. That's eight cents less than it was last month, and 19 cents less than it was last year.


"The mid-winter blahs will likely keep pump prices waffling a few cents up and down for the immediate future," Andrew Gross, AAA spokesperson, said in a statement.

While most areas are seeing cheaper prices, not all states are getting relief for their pain at the pump. The price of gas is up eight cents in Michigan, 10 cents in Florida, 13 cents in Ohio and 14 cents in Indiana, AAA reports.

According to new data from the Energy Information Administration, gas demand increased from 7.95 to 8.33 million barrels per day last week. Meanwhile, total domestic gasoline stocks increased significantly by 8 million bbl to 245 million bbl (bbl refers to a barrel of crude oil, which is 42 gallons).

The slight uptick in demand has limited pump price drops, causing the national average to stagnate, AAA says. However, if oil prices continue to drop, drivers could continue to see pump prices trickle lower.

"Keep an eye on frigid temps because those can affect refinery production, pushing some regional pump prices higher," Gross warned.

Hawaii currently leads the nation in high gas prices with an average of $4.67 per gallon, AAA reports.
