Gas Prices Dip Below $2.50

Today, AAA is reporting that the national average for a gallon of gasoline is $2.495. It’s the first time since March that the price has dropped below the $2.50 mark. The main reason for the wild price changes is plain old supply and demand. Gasoline and crude oil supplies are up while demand is down. Experts also say a calm storm season in the Gulf of Mexico has been another factor in the low prices.
