Gas prices drop this holiday season
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - Good news for those traveling this holiday season. Gas prices have fallen again!
The nationwide average for regular gas is at its lowest level in over 1,680 days— and trending lower. According to Gas Buddy price reports, in the last week, we’ve seen a national decrease of 5.0 cents per gallon and in Arizona a decrease of 6.6 cents per gallon.
Today we’re seeing Yuma prices as low as $2.89 at Sam’s Club and even lower at $2.87 at ARCO.
"It's really nice to be able to fill up my tank with like $30," said Washington visitor Valeria Ramirez.
Gas Buddy says the national average for diesel has also decreased 5.1 cents in the last week, standing at $3.67 per gallon. For drivers of gas guzzling trucks like Victor Latus, he can now spend that money on what matters most.
The money we save here and filling up this big truck of mine, we can probably pass some gifts on to our daughter's graduating college on Friday, so that's why we're headed to Colorado," said California resident Victor Latus.
