The average price of gasoline has fallen by nearly seven cents per gallon in Oklahoma during the past week to just less than $1.88 and is now the cheapest in the nation.
AAA Oklahoma said Monday that the price is down by 20 cents per gallon during the past 32 days and is the lowest in the state since April 13.
Prices in selected cities range from $1.75 per gallon in Bartlesville to $2.04 in Guymon. Drivers in Oklahoma City are paying $1.83 per gallon while those in Tulsa are paying $1.76.
AAA Oklahoma spokesman Chuck Mai said there is an abundance of crude oil worldwide and prices are expected to continue falling through the end of the year unless there are unanticipated outages or supply disruptions.
