Meanwhile, the national average price fell by 3 cents to $3.67. That's also lower than the national average from a year ago, when motorists were paying $3.88.

Analysts say the falling prices are due to crude oil prices staying stable and the return to service of refineries that were temporarily shut down for seasonal maintenance work.
