LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Editor's note: the above video is regarding fuel efficiency for E15 vehicles.
There may be some relief on the horizon at the pump.
Average gasoline prices in Louisville dropped 12.5 cents a gallon last week, according to GasBuddy's daily survey of 644 stations in the city. This is the fourth-straight week the national gas price average has fallen.
Prices are 7.9 cents less than a month ago and 7.8 cents lower than a year ago. The cheapest station in Kentucky was priced Sunday at $2.95 a gallon, while the most expensive was priced at $3.69.
The national average fell 3.5 cents last week to $3.55. The national average for diesel fuel dropped 3.3 cents to $3.86.
"The news continues to be good for motorists ahead of Memorial Day, with gasoline prices again falling, making it four straight weeks of declines for the national average as we get closer to the start of the summer driving season," Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said.
"The good news doesn't necessarily end there, either. GasBuddy's Summer Travel Forecast, coming out tomorrow, will also give motorists mostly good news for the rest of the summer, predicting that gas prices over the next few months will stay far under record levels and should continue trending lower as we get closer to July 4. While the Middle East, hurricane season, refinery maintenance and any other unexpected disruptions or weather remain wildcards, this summer is shaping up to be mostly favorable for drivers hitting the road."
