Prices range from a low of $3.715 in the Gulf Coast region, down 0.5 cent from last week, to a high of $4.034 in the West Coast region, a 0.4 cent gain during the same time.
Meantime, the national average price of regular grade gasoline resumed moving lower after a brief upturn last week for the first time since mid-June, falling 0.2 cent, registering $3.457, 13 cents less than the same time last year.
Prices increased in the Central Atlantic, Midwest and Gulf Coast regions over the past week, but declined in all others. Gasoline ranges from a low of $3.223 in the Gulf Coast to a high of $3.774 in the West Coast region.
Meantime, the price of oil fell on Monday in New York trading, losing 63 cents and settling at $92.66 per barrel, following its sixth weekly decline on Friday out of the past seven weeks, in the wake of disappointing news about U.S. employment. Compared to the opening price from last Tuesday crude is down $3.15.
