LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Louisville gas prices are holding steady after three-straight weeks of decreases.
Average gasoline prices in Louisville have stayed the same since last week, averaging $2.80 per gallon, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 644 stations across Louisville.
The prices are 29.6 cents per gallon lower compared to a month ago and are 23.6 cents lower compared to a year ago. The cheapest station in Louisville on Sunday was about $2.44 a gallon, while the most expensive was priced at $3.09.
The national average has fallen about 2.6 cents per gallon last week to $3.03. The national average for diesel fuel has fallen 0.4 cents to $3.52.
"While the election has come and gone, gas prices have stayed the course, with the national average price of gasoline declining for a fourth consecutive week as seasonal demand weakens and Americans begin to take refuge from falling temperatures," Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said.
"While some may be surprised by the declines—some 28 states have average gas prices below $3 per gallon—this was anticipated in our annual Fuel Outlook from last December. Looking back at our outlook provides insight into the current drop and what we expect next. With the median U.S. gas price now at $2.95 per gallon, the lowest since 2021, it appears to be just a matter of time before the national average falls below $3 per gallon for the first time since May 2021, something we've already seen for diesel prices, which many Americans will be thankful for as we get closer to Thanksgiving."
Statewide, the lowest price on Sunday was $2.37 while the highest was about $3.59.
