New Hampshire has witnessed falling gas prices, in fact prices have fallen 1.3 cents per gallon in the past week. Gasbuddy.com showed the average gas prices on Monday to be $3.65. Even more interesting is the fact that this is relatively higher than the national average which seems to have fallen 3.7 cents per gallon in the last week to $3.61.
Even though these numbers appear to be encouraging let us see how much the prices have changed within the last year and the last month.
Gas prices in New Hampshire are actually 6 cents a gallon higher than they were last year and are also 3.6 cents per gallon higher than last month.
To further put things in perspective; average gas prices in Maine have fallen 2 cents per gallon in the last week and the average price of a gallon on Monday was $3.72 however that is 3.7 cents up from one month ago according to www.gasbuddy.com.
Also noteworthy is the fact that gas prices in Maine are 4.3 cents a gallon higher than they were last year.
This apparently hasn’t affected the national average, which seems to have decreased 4.3 cents per gallon in the last month or so and has defied change when compared to a year ago.
