 South Dakota- $2.30/g, down 1.5 cents per gallon from last week’s $2.31/g.

“Even an uptick in demand for gasoline during the Fourth of July weekend couldn’t slow falling retail gasoline prices.  The average retail gasoline price for the United States has dropped for 26 consecutive days, where it now sits at $2.23 per gallon.  This translates to a 16 cent drop in gas prices since the streak started.  These falling gas prices have been supported by the price of West Texas Intermediate crude losing 7.3% of its value in one week’s time,” said Will Speer, senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy.
 
“As the European Union stability weighs on investor’s minds, states like Ohio and Michigan have been able to take advantage of lower crude prices and improved refinery utilization in the region by posting a nation-leading 10 cent per gallon average decline in gas prices in one week,” he added.
