Gasoline price has dropped 53 days in a row

November 17:


The price of gasoline nationwide has now dropped 53 days in a row, automotive group AAA said Monday.
The national average price for a gallon of regular stood at $2.89, AAA said in its Daily Duel Gauge report. That's the lowest price since Dec. 2, 2010.
Nationally, the price has fallen 24 cents compared to a month ago and 32 cents compared to a year ago.
"The downward pressure on prices is expected to continue through the Thanksgiving holiday, meaning drivers are likely to be giving thanks for the cheapest seasonal prices since 2009 when the national average registered $2.63 on the holiday," AAA said in a statement.
The current average price in Wisconsin is $2.92. Among the state's metro areas, Milwaukee has the lowest average price at $2.87, down from $3.18 a month ago.
The average Milwaukee price has closely mirrored the national average since the price drop began.
A number of stations in the Milwaukee area are selling gas at $2.79 a gallon, according toMilwaukeeGasPrices.com.
