National, local gas prices drop by pennies
Gas prices in Maine have fallen for the first time in three weeks, as the average price for a gallon of gas dropped by a single cent to $2.22.
During that same period, the average national price for a gallon of gas dropped by two cents to $2.17, according to the price-tracking website GasBuddy.
The $2.22 statewide average in Maine reported on Tuesday morning is higher than New Hampshire's average of $2.12 per gallon, but the same price per gallon average of Vermont.
“Prices in Washington, D.C.; New Jersey; Philadelphia; New York City; [and the] Boston area are set to continue their modest decline as this major area switches back to cheaper winter gasoline effective Friday,” Patrick DeHaan, Gasbuddy senior petroleum analyst, said in a release. “With the switch back, the region will shift from stringent reformulated summer gasoline to conventional winter gasoline. Gasoline prices in all states in the region have declined in the last week, at nearly the same rate of the national average.”
