In Cleveland, gas prices have dropped 8.6 cents since last week. That brings the city’s average down to $3.39 per gallon, which is 18.8 cents lower than a month ago and 4.4 cents cheaper than a year ago.
The national average, however, remains nearly unchanged at $3.41 per gallon after rising 0.3 cents in the last week.
"With summer now officially here, we've seen the national average price of gasoline holding most steady compared to last week, with some states seeing their traditional price cycling every couple of weeks, while others have seen prices slowly slip," said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. "For now, gasoline prices may see little movement ahead of July 4 as oil prices have risen above $80. But the good news is that instead of the national average jumping to follow the rising price of oil, it's holding steady. The bummer is that the decreases we hoped for will have to wait, thanks to oil's climb.”
