Gasoline prices have dropped back down to a new statewide average of $2.03 a gallon in Oklahoma according to AAA Oklahoma.  That’s 12 cents lower than the $2.15 range reported over the past few months. It’s also 4 cents a gallon cheaper than the price recorded just four weeks ago.

Nationally, the average is $2.21 a gallon, 3 cents higher than last week and 8 cents more expensive than last month.

The cheapest gasoline is in Lawton and Muskogee where motorists are finding $1.90 a gallon prices. Bartlesville and Enid drivers are finding $1.93 a gallon gasoline. In Tulsa, the average is $1.94 while motorists in Oklahoma City are paying an average of $2.04. At least nine cities in the state have averages less than $2 a gallon.

Oklahoma is one of ten states with the cheapest gasoline in the country. Texas and Mississippi are tied for the lowest prices with an average of $1.96 a gallon. Oklahoma is ranked 8th lowest, according to AAA Oklahoma.

Because of a gasoline pipeline leak in Alabama, drivers in the southeast have seen some of the biggest jumps in prices. Georgia drivers saw a 21-cent a gallon increase while those in South Carolina and Tennessee paid 13 cents more a gallon. Some state agencies in North Carolina have started using conservation steps because of the shortage of gasoline.
