Marketplace Overview
The nationwide average price of self-serve regular gasoline
has remained remarkably stable since the beginning of
August; fluctuating by about five cents per gallon on either
side of $2.80.
This is understandable given the lower demand for motor
fuels at this time of the year, but is interesting when
compared to the way in which the price of crude oil has
jumped around during that same period of time. Although oil
passed $80 per barrel in early September and briefly touched
$84 per barrel two weeks ago, the price fell below $79 per
barrel Monday before rebounding a bit yesterday.
Hawaii ($3.212) and California ($3.024) are the only states
in the country with self-serve regular gas price averages
currently above $3 per gallon.
New Jersey continues to boast America’s lowest gas price
average ($2.534).
