National pollster Trilby Lundberg says it’s part of a trend that saw gas prices plunge 14-cents nationally in the past two weeks, as crude oil prices plummeted. She says this could be the bottom if an increase in crude oil prices Friday is just the first of many oil hikes.
Nationally the average price is about $1.91/gallon.
