Maine gas prices down a penny
Average retail cost of a gallon of gas in Maine down another penny
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) -- The cost of a gallon of gas in Maine continues to trickle down, but the party may be over.
Price-monitoring website MaineGasPrices.com reports Monday that the average retail price of a gallon of gas in Maine dropped just over a penny in the past week to $3.49.
With the national average inching up a penny, Maine's prices are now two cents lower than the national average.
In-state prices are now almost 37 cents lower per gallon than at the same time last year and 16 cents lower than a month ago.
A company analyst says prices in some areas of the country are already on the rise again with crude oil prices on the way up.
Maine prices are based on a survey of more than 1,200 gas stations.
