“The national average has again seen a decrease in the last week, as California joins much of the rest of the United States in seeing lower prices,” said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. “Even though there hasn’t been a massive decline in California retail prices, the fact that prices have stopped rising there has helped tip the national average lower. In the week ahead, we could continue to see declines as wholesale prices fell lower late last week, meaning gas stations have additional room to drop their prices,” DeHaan said.
