“What a start to the summer driving season! The lowest gasoline prices in 11 years are greeting motorists hitting the road this summer,” said Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy. “Not only gasoline prices, but diesel too. In fact, every single state in the nation is seeing lower gasoline and diesel prices than where we started summer last year- both of which currently average $2.32 per gallon. Going forward, much of the country will spend much of the summer in the twos for both gasoline and diesel. Prices in the biggest cities:
New York, Los Angeles and Chicago could break $3/gallon at some stations, but the bigger the city, the more motorists stand to save by shopping for the lowest prices,” DeHaan added.
