Maine gas prices fall almost 4 cents to an average of $3.52 per gallon

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) -- The cost of a gallon of gas in Maine has dropped nearly 4 cents in the past week to average of $3.52.

Price-monitoring website MaineGasPrices.com reported Monday that the average retail price of gasoline in Maine is now 2 cents more than the national average, which has dropped nearly 6 cents in the past week.

Maine prices are now more than 13 cents higher than at the same time last year and more than 4 cents higher than a month ago.

A company analyst says prices are likely to keep falling this week.

The Maine averages are based on a survey of more than 1.200 gas stations statewide.
