Prices were mostly down in all regions of the U.S., with the Midwest seeing the largest drop in prices at 3 cents per gallon. The New England region saw a slight uptick in prices of 0.3 cents per gallon.
Gasoline prices were also down last week, falling 3.5 cents to bring the national average price to $2.059 per gallon. This is the lowest price of 2015 since Jan. 26. The price is 71.9 cents cheaper than the same week in 2014.
The largest decrease in prices by region was a 5.8-cent drop in the Midwest while, similar to diesel prices, New England saw a small increase of 0.2 cents.
