This week’s average prices: Western Central KY Average              $2.080 Average price during the week of June 19, 2017                      $2.120 Average price during the week of June 27, 2016                     $2.231 Average prices of unleaded self-serve gasoline in various areas: $1.979     Bowling Green $2.092     Elizabethtown $2.330     Louisville $2.018     Owensboro $1.983     Paducah On the National Front Despite a surge in gasoline demand on the week, the national average price for gasoline is nearing an all-time low for the year at $2.26/gallon. On the week, gas prices fell in all but three states, and the national average has fallen for 24 consecutive days. Today’s national average is three cents cheaper than a week ago and eleven cents cheaper than a month ago. Heading into Independence Day weekend, gasoline is four cents less than a year ago. Record refinery rates and high gasoline and crude inventory are among the contributing factors causing the downward price trend. Refinery production has easily met demand from drivers and has left gasoline stockpiles at high levels. This is good news for people planning to travel for the Independence Day holiday. AAA forecasts 37.5 million Americans will drive to their holiday destination, which potentially can mean a small increase in holiday weekend gas prices. But in light of the gasoline surplus, the increase may amount to pennies at most. Motorists can find current gas prices along their route with the free AAA Mobile app for iPhone, iPad and Android. The app can also be used to map a route, find discounts, book a hotel and access AAA roadside assistance.
