Wyoming is the 14th most expensive state in the country, while South Carolina is the cheapest average state on Monday at $4.14 a gallon while California continues to be the most expensive state at $6.08 a gallon, down 12 cents from the previous week.

Crude oil prices have increased $3 in the past week, up to $102 a barrel, down from a recent high of $122 on June 8, while the price of diesel sits at $5.65 a gallon, having fallen 8.5 cents nationally in the past week.

Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said:

"The national average has declined for 27 days straight, or four weeks, the longest decline in average gas prices since the pandemic started in 2020. Average gas prices are down nearly 40 cents, with Americans shelling out $140 million less on gasoline every day than they did a month ago," De Haan said. "We may see the trend last a fifth week, as long as oil prices remain cooperative and don't surge beyond $105 per barrel, and as long as refinery production of gasoline remains strong. But we're not completely out of the woods yet - we could also see a sharp reversal in the decline. There remains risk of a spike in prices that could send us to new record levels in August, should any disruptions occur. It could be a wild ride, but for now, the plummet at the pump shall continue."
