Cleveland saw a smaller jump of 6.7 cents per gallon within the last week, bringing the city’s average to $3.24. That puts Cleveland’s gas prices at 9.5 cents cheaper than a month ago and 63.6 cents lower than a year ago.
The national average is now listed at $3.38 per gallon after falling 7 cents.
"For the seventh straight week, we've seen the national average price of gasoline decline,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “With cooler weather comes cooler gasoline prices, and as we inch closer to the Thanksgiving holiday, prices will continue to fall virtually coast to coast. Eight states are now seeing average gas prices below $3 per gallon. While the national average is now at its lowest since March, the decline is likely to continue for at least another couple of weeks, with California likely soon falling below $5, while more states fall under $3. Millions of Americans already have access to $2.99/gal or cheaper, and I expect that number to continue to grow this week."
