Gasoline prices remain constant in Oklahoma

Gasoline prices have dropped as much as six cents a gallon in some states while in Oklahoma, they remained the same in the past week.

Oklahoma’s average stayed at $2.56 a gallon while some counties saw much cheaper prices. Nowata in northeastern Oklahoma has the lowest average at $2.44 a gallon. The average in nearby Washington County is $2.47. Averages in Cotton, Oklahoma and Wagoner were at $2.49.

The highest average is $2.85 in Dewey County in the northwest while prices in Ellis at $2.82 and drivers in Harmon county pay an average of $2.80 a gallon.

Tulsa drivers pay an average of $2.52, an increase of four cents in the past week. Motorists in Oklahoma City face an average of $2.52 a gallon, same as a week ago. Those in Lawton pay an average of $2.51 which is one cent lower than last week.

Oklahoma’s $2.56 average compares to $2.57 in Texas, $2.59 in Kansas $2.85 in Colorado, $2.73 in New Mexico, $2.51 in Arkansas and $2.55 in Missouri.

“Gas prices are getting cheaper for the majority of motorists despite the fact that U.S. gasoline stocks sit at a 7 million bbl deficit year-over-year. Crude oil prices have remained relatively stable the past few months, which is one reason helping gas prices be cheaper than last year at this time,” said Jeanette Casselano, AAA spokesperson. “Today, motorists can find gas for $2.75 or less at nearly half of all gas stations in the country.”
