Sonora, CA — Over the past nine weeks, the average price of a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline fell 61 cents, nationwide.
It has fallen nearly a dime over just the past two weeks. The nationwide average is now $1.93 per gallon.
Industry Analyst Trilby Lundberg of the Lundberg survey predicts that prices will continue to decline in the weeks ahead as demand declines amidst coronavirus stay at home orders.
