Faced with an unusual November hurricane in the Gulf, the national average price for a gallon of gasoline has decreased by only three cents since last week, settling at $3.10.
"Gas prices often freeze as a hurricane enters the gulf and oil production and refining are threatened," said Andrew Gross, AAA spokesperson. "But once Hurricane Rafael passes, pump prices should soon regain their downward momentum."
AAA also monitors the average cost per kilowatt-hour for all levels of public charging across states. The current national average for a kilowatt of electricity at a public charging station remains unchanged at 34 cents.
