INDIANAPOLIS — Many areas in the country are seeing gas prices at or below what they saw this time last year.

GasBuddy says the nation’s average gas prices have fallen for the fourth straight week. As of the time of their report, the national average is down 43 cents from the previous month and is only 1.5 cents per gallon higher than a year ago.

Aanalysis at GasBuddy say “Every state has again seen average gasoline prices drop in the last week, and it remains very possible the national average could fall under $3 per gallon by Christmas,”

“There has also been a drop in diesel prices, which this week will fall back under $5 per gallon, and could soon thereafter fall to their lowest level since March.”

AAA says Indiana saw among the nation’s 10 largest weekly decreases, falling 22 cents.
