Maine Gas Prices Edge Up This Week

Gas prices in Maine did not follow the national trend of dropping this past week. According to GasBuddy.com, the average retail gasoline price in Maine went up by one cent a gallon this week to $3.46.

The national average gas price is $3.25 a gallon, with three states, Oklahoma, Missouri and Kansas having an average under $3 a gallon.

The lowest gas price in Maine this past week was found in Bangor at $3.30 a gallon. The lowest price that I found nationally was in Oklahoma City at $2.67 a gallon.

Only seven states and Washington D.C. had a higher average gas price than Maine.

Gas industry analysts believe gas prices should trend lower with health fuel inventories and U.S. refinery output at its highest level since October.
