Drivers in 45 states saw pump prices drop by double digits over the last month, according to the AAA Fuel Gauge Report.
The auto club says the Washington metro area average for unleaded gas was $2.34 per gallon Sunday, which matched the national average.
If the price of crude oil remains relatively low, AAA Michigan predicts gas prices will continue their downward trend into fall as the summer driving season comes to an end. That’s also much lower than the national average from a year ago, when motorists were paying $3.42. Prices in the Twin Cities are averaging $2.20.

As our consumer reporter Rachel Murray wrote, “It’s only the second time in the past five years that gas prices have dropped below $2”.
