Gas prices have declined for eight straight weeks.
According to AAA, average gas prices in Maine have fallen about 9 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $4.46 a gallon as of Monday.
Prices in Maine are about 40 cents per gallon lower than a month ago and stand $1.35 a gallon higher than a year ago.
The average price of a gallon of gas is $4.23 in New Hampshire and $4.37 a gallon in Massachusetts.
The nationwide average for a gallon of regular is $4.05, according to AAA.
The national average price of diesel also declined about 13 cents in the last week and stands at $5.14 per gallon.
"The national average is poised to fall back under $4 per gallon as early as today as we see the decline in gas prices enter its eighth straight week. By the end of the week, one hundred thousand stations will be at $3.99 or less," said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. "Diesel continues to decline as well, and will likely soon fall under $5 per gallon. We've even seen nearly a dozen stations in low-priced states fall under $2.99, a welcome return to some lucky motorists in areas of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Iowa. The groundwork is laid for a ninth week of decline, with areas of the West Coast soon ditching the $5 per gallon average. While I'm upbeat the drop can continue for another couple weeks, we're starting to see some activity in the tropics, which may increase risk of potential disruption."
According to GasBuddy, the cheapest gas station in Maine, which is Panda Market in Buxton, is priced at $3.79 a gallon while the highest is $5.29 a gallon.
