From the Washington Post:
The national average stood at $4.495 on Tuesday, according to AAA, which represents a 10 percent pullback from its June peak above $5. A gallon of diesel, meanwhile, has dropped to $5.51, down 31 cents in the last month.
In some parts of the country, prices are even lower: There are now at least 35 states where at least one station is selling gas for less than $4 per gallon, according to the fuel-tracking app GasBuddy.
The lowest price can be found in Virginia, where at least two gas stations are selling a gallon of regular for $3.25.
Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for Gasbuddy, says the national average is on track to reach $4 per gallon. That’s still higher than a year ago when the national average was $3.17. Read the full report here. Related: Fox News Reporter Schooled On How Gas Prices Work
The current drop in gas prices is one of the fastest declines in over a decade. Prices are still too high, but this provides much-needed breathing room for hardworking Illinois families. pic.twitter.com/jwPaRKbGhv

The @POTUS took hits for climbing gas prices. So will he get credit as they fall? https://t.co/a9qurvSDJc
