The National Gas Price Average Trickles Lower
Since last Monday, the national average for a gallon of regular gasoline decreased to $3.84 (subject to change overnight).

However, the seasonal decline at the pump is being slowed by higher oil costs, which is around $90 a barrel. According to data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gas demand rose slightly from 8.31 to 8.41 million barrels a day last week. Meanwhile, total domestic gasoline stocks declined slightly from 220.3 to 219.5 million barrels.
