Maine Gas Prices Down Again This Week
The average gasoline prices in Maine were down a little over 4 cents per gallon this week for a statewide average of $2.11. That's according to GasBuddy.com and their daily survey of 1,228 gas outlets in the state.
Nationally, gas price were 2.3 cents per gallon lower for an average of $2.02.
We are $1.37 per gallon lower than one year ago, and GasBuddy.com expects the national average to fall below $2 a gallon this week.
Experts think that the price decline is close to bottoming out and prices will start to rise soon. Mostly due to refineries switching to cleaner-burning, summer gas blends.
