“The state average has plummeted more than 16 cents in the past two weeks,” AAA spokesman Mark Jenkins said in a release. “Plunging temps across the country contributes to lower fuel demand, which normally leads to excess fuel supplies and lower prices. More than 70% of filling stations now have gas prices below $3 a gallon.”
