  • Alaska- $2.65/g, down 0.8 cents per gallon from last week’s $2.66/g.
  • Anchorage- $2.54/g, down 1.1 cents per gallon from last week’s $2.55/g.

“The price of crude oil, which had been gaining steam leading up to June, has now experienced a sustained downturn over the last couple of weeks. As crude oil prices have cooled off, the impact is finally being felt in the retail gasoline sector, where the national average for gasoline fell over 5 cents per gallon in one week’s time. No area has seen this impact more pronounced than the Great Lakes states, where Indiana and Ohio saw their gas prices fall over 15 cents per gallon in one week. As EIA demand data for gasoline hit a new weekly record, it makes the declining price even more impressive. This week, energy markets will be anxiously awaiting the outcome of whether the UK will remain in the European Union. Uncertainty over the stability of the EU could impact crude and American gas prices,” said Will Speer, GasBuddy senior petroleum analyst.
