Fort Lauderdale, FL – Like a Cyber Monday deal at the gas pump, the cost of driving went down for a second consecutive week, according to the latest weekly fuel price survey from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The average price for a gallon of regular unleaded is now $2.53, down nearly four cents over the past week.

While prices in most of the survey regions declined by a more modest figure, a substantial decline in prices across the Midwest, of more than seven cents per gallon, helped pull down the nation’s average retail gas price. Most regions’ fuel price averages were off by one to three cents per gallon.

Truckers got only bad news in this week’s E.I.A. report. Region by region, prices were up from one to three cents, pulling the nation’s average price of diesel up to $2.93 per gallon.

Fuel prices for all regions are shown below, as gathered from www.eia.gov.
