Prices at the pump keep plunging as summer draws closer, with some states now recording average regular gas prices below $3 a gallon.
Missouri is not among them, with an average of $3.08 a gallon, though drivers in Arkansas, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Texas can enjoy state averages between $2.94 and $2.97 per gallon. Even California, long home to averages above the $5 range, has seen prices dip to an average of $4.93, though it is still the highest average in the country.
With all these cheaper prices, it is no surprise the national average for a gallon of regular gasoline is now just $3.45 a gallon, down some 14 cents since last week.
For a gallon of diesel, drivers can expect to pay an average of $3.79 nationally and $3.39 in Missouri.
