Still lowest
Well, Oklahoma still has the lowest statewide gas average in the nation, AAA’s fuelgaugereport.com shows today. And it’s still dropping. That could be good news for both Oklahomans and the nation.
See, I’ve been on this job since Thanksgiving. And one thing I’ve noticed about our state’s gasoline and diesel prices is that they are trend-setters.
True, the state’s average price per gallon is pretty much, all the time, about 20 cents cheaper than the national average.
But what I mean is this: When Oklahoma’s average fuel prices are headed lower, then so is the nation’s — most of the time, anyway.
Within Oklahoma, you can see that play out even more.
Average fuel prices in Tulsa, which has two of the state’s biggest refineries, are a good indicator of where fuel prices are headed in the state. If they are dropping, then prices throughout the remainder of the state are sure to follow.
Speaking of prices, can you recall the last time the average price of gasoline was $3 a gallon?
