Maine gas prices continue downward trend, but not falling as fast as they are nationally
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) -- Maine gas prices continue to trickle down, but aren't falling as fast as they are nationally.
Price-monitoring website MaineGasPrices.com reports Monday that the average retail cost of a gallon of gas in Maine dropped by a little more than three cents in the past week, to an average of $3.53.
Nationally, prices dropped by more than a nickel in the past week to an average of $3.34 per gallon.
Maine prices are now six cents lower than a month ago, yet remain 15 cents higher than at the same time last year.
A company analyst says he's expecting prices to continue to fall.
