Average Price For A Gallon Of Gas Is A Penny Lower

The average price for a gallon of gas is a penny lower this week at $3.541, according to AAA East Central’s Gas Price Report. Despite this small decline, gas prices in the area end 2021 more than a dollar higher than this time last year. The average price of gas during the week of Dec. 28, 2020, was $2.359. According to AAA, gasoline prices fluctuated over the past few days as fears of an omicron-driven economic slowdown were countered by news of a severe fire at a major oil refinery. Last Thursday, a fire erupted at the Exxon Mobil Corp refinery in Baytown, Texas. The plant is one of the largest refining and petrochemical facilities in the United States. If the damage forces the plant offline for long, the disruption could negatively affect gasoline prices. The recent steady decline in pump prices has slowed, with the national average for a gallon of gas falling two cents on the week to $3.28.
