Gasoline prices down nationwide
October 26, 1997
Web posted at: 6:43 p.m. EST (2343 GMT)LOS ANGELES (CNN) -- Gasoline prices across the United States continue to drop.
The Lundberg Survey reports the average price for a gallon of gasoline is down just over 2 cents in the past two weeks. Gasoline prices have dropped 6 cents since early September.
The average price for all grades of gas, both full- and self-serve, is $1.26 a gallon. The decline was attributed to a combination of lower demand and ample supplies.
The drop in prices is greatest in the Midwest. St. Louis has the least expensive gasoline, at $1.09 a gallon for self-serve regular. Honolulu is on the opposite end of the scale, with prices averaging about $1.61 per gallon.
The survey covers the period from October 10 through October 24.
