Maine gas prices down by about a nickel to an average of $3.59 per gallon
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) -- The cost of a gallon of gas in Maine is down by almost a nickel.
Price-monitoring website MaineGasPrices.com reports Monday that the average retail cost of a gallon of gas has dropped in the past week to $3.59.
Even though that's almost 40 cents lower than at the same time last year, the price in Maine remains seven cents per gallon above the national average.
The current in-state price is now almost 18 cents per gallon below where it was just a month ago.
The average is based on a survey of more than 1,200 Maine gas stations.
