The state average was $2.99 per gallon on Sunday, which is the lowest daily average price since Dec. 20.
“The state average has plummeted more than 16 cents in the past 2 weeks,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA. “Plunging temps across the country contributes to lower fuel demand, which normally leads to excess fuel supplies and lower prices. More than 70% of filling stations now have gas prices below $3 a gallon.”
