National average gasoline prices fall to $3.99 per gallon, down nearly 4 weeks straight, as crude oil declines amid geopolitical easing.
7-Eleven is offering lower gasoline prices than Costco, Kroger, and Sam’s Club, leveraging aggressive discounts without membership fees. The national average for regular gasoline dropped to $3.99 per gallon, marking nearly four consecutive weeks of declines.
Prices remain elevated compared to last year, with the average at $4.12 a week ago, $4.51 a month ago, and $3.18 a year ago. The decline follows a U.S.-Iran deal easing tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, pressuring crude oil costs.
Consumers continue to adjust habits, with Walmart reporting a drop in gallons purchased per visit below 10 for the first time since 2022, signaling ongoing financial strain.
