Fort Lauderdale, FL – Gas prices took another tumble at the pump this week, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The weekly E.I.A. fuel price survey shows the average price of one gallon of regular unleaded fell to about $2.81, nationwide, which is down three cents from the previous week’s survey. Prices finally fell in all regions this week, unlike the previous two weeks’ declines. Even so, on the West Coast, the last region to get a price break amid the recent spate of declines, prices only dipped about two cents per gallon. Elsewhere, prices fell at a more substantial rate, particularly in the Lower Atlantic and Gulf Coast regions, where prices shed between five and six cents per gallon, on average, according to this week’s E.I.A. survey. Truckers caught a good break, for a second week in a row, according to the E.I.A. Diesel prices fell well over two cents per gallon, nationwide, to settle at about $3.36. This week’s average fuel prices for all regions are shown below, as gathered from www.eia.gov.
