GasBuddy: Another dip at Arkansas pumps

JONESBORO, Ark. (KAIT) – For the second week in a row, average gas prices in Arkansas dropped slightly.

According to GasBuddy.com’s survey of 1,826 stations in the Natural State, prices fell 4 cents per gallon to an average of $3.10.

That’s 4.4 cents less than a month ago but 0.9 cents higher than last year.

The cheapest station was priced at $2.84 on Sunday, while the most expensive was $4.39.

Meanwhile, the national average fell 3.2 cents a gallon in the last week to $3.58.

“While pump prices haven’t exactly plummeted, we’ve seen the average price of gasoline drop in a majority of states over the last week as refineries finish maintenance and ramp up output of products like gasoline,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy.

De Haan said the future looks bright as the nation closes in on Memorial Day.

“I expect most Americans will see prices fall before the holiday weekend, and I’m optimistic the trend could extend into June and beyond,” he said. “I’m excited to say it does appear that, for now, the worst is behind us.”
