Gas Price Update For June 20, 2016

Gas price trend for week of June 20, 2016

Fort Lauderdale, FL – The price of gas finally reversed course during the past week and declined nearly a nickel per gallon, nationwide, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Prices fell in nearly every region, including the volatile midwest, where price increases last week contributed in large part to the June 13 increase in the national gas price average.

Diesel prices all fell during the week, according to the E.I.A., although declines were around a penny per gallon in most places. Prices held steady across much of the east coast, with the lower Atlantic and gulf states enjoying the greatest reprieve in pricing this week.
