Gas prices fall sharply, national average under $4

Gas prices have fallen significantly over the past two weeks, and the national gas price average dropped below $4 to $3.97 today. According to AAA, the decline in price is due largely because of less demand and winter fuel blends, which are cheaper to produce. Crude oil prices have dropped to $80-$90 per barrel, which also contributed to the decline in price. However, the national average was 90-cents lower at this time last year when the high was $3.07.
