Gas Prices In Reno The Last Week

This week, average gas prices in the United States continue to fall.

Because demand for gasoline remains low as American consumers opt to take advantage of doorbuster discounts online and supply grows, the price of gasoline at the pump plummeted another $0.10.

According to AAA, a gallon of gas cost $3.40 on average nationally on Monday, December 5. The price per gallon has nearly reverted to where it was almost a year ago. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in late February, a conflict begun by one of the world’s top oil producers drove retail gas prices to all-time highs.

OPEC, an oil-producing countries’ cartel, resolved last week to continue lowering oil output from Middle Eastern suppliers. Reduced availability may cause gasoline prices to rise in the coming weeks and months.
