Gas prices continue to make minuscule weekly drops at the pump as the Gainesville area saw a four-cent decrease since last week. According to the AAA’s weekly gas report released on Thursday, the cost per gallon went down from $3.46 last week to $3.42. In Florida, the prices decreased on average from $3.40 to $3.37 and nationally, the average price dipped one cent from $3.45 to $3.44. “Summer is wrapping up soon, and so far, gas prices have barely wobbled,” said An-drew Gross, AAA spokesperson, in the press release. “But we still have a long way to go with hurricane season, so it’s too soon to declare that pump prices have started their usual autumn swoon.” Mainstreet does not have a paywall, but pavement-pounding journalism is not free.

As of Thursday, the national average for a kilowatt of electricity at an L2 commercial charging station is at 34 cents. Thursday’s data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) showed gas demand edged higher last week from 8.96 million barrels per day (b/d) to 9.04. The total domestic gasoline stocks fell from 225.1 to 222.2 million barrels of crude oil (bbl). The stable oil costs and low gas demand may cause pump prices to drop further. Thursday’s national average of $3.44 is eight cents less than last month’s $3.52. Last year, the price was at $3.86. Florida is the25thmost expensive state in price per gallonat $3.37. Last month, gas was $3.50 per gallon and last year it was $3.79 statewide. In the Gainesville area, last month’s price was $3.57 per gallon, and last year it was $3.86.

If it’s so minuscule than it’s not worth writing about. Give the fuel prices topic a rest.
