AAA reports that soon after the attacks on major Saudi Arabian oil facilities, the majority of Americans are starting to see signs of lowerting gas prices at the pumps. According to AAA newsroom, "While the national average may have only decreased by a penny on the week, 10 states saw pump prices decline by a nickel or more."
“Crude oil prices have dropped close to where they were right before the drone attacks on the Saudi oil facilities,” said Jeanette Casselano, AAA spokesperson. “This is helping to push gas prices cheaper in most of the country. Americans can expect this trend to continue, except for those filling-up on the West Coast, where refinery disruptions are causing spikes at the pump.” The nation’s top 10 least expensive markets are: Louisiana ($2.30), Mississippi ($2.30), South Carolina ($2.32), Arkansas ($2.32), Alabama ($2.33), Texas ($2.35), Virginia ($2.35), Oklahoma ($2.35), Missouri ($2.36) and Tennessee ($2.37).
