CAMARILLO, Calif. — The average U.S. price of regular-grade gasoline has dropped 3 cents per gallon over the past three weeks to $2.63. The price is 20 cents lower than what it was in mid-July.
However, industry analyst Trilby Lundberg of the Lundberg Survey said Sunday that she expected the trend to reverse after Saturday’s drone attack on Saudi Arabia’s key oil processing facility.
The highest average price in the nation is $3.62 a gallon in the San Francisco Bay Area. The lowest average is $2.11 in Baton Rouge, La.
The average price of diesel is down a penny since Aug. 23, to $2.99 per gallon.
