WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — The price of gas in North Carolina has fallen for the seventh week in a row.

Average gasoline prices in North Carolina have dropped another 7.1 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.09 per gallon.

Prices in North Carolina are 26.8 cents per gallon lower than a month ago and stand 24.7 cents per gallon lower than a year ago. 

According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in North Carolina was priced at $2.69 per gallon Sunday while the most expensive was $4.29 a gallon, a difference of $1.60. 

“With cooler weather comes cooler gasoline prices, and as we inch closer to the Thanksgiving holiday, prices will continue to fall virtually coast to coast. Eight states are now seeing average gas prices below $3 per gallon,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “Millions of Americans already have access to $2.99/gal or cheaper, and I expect that number to continue to grow this week.”
