The national average for regular unleaded falls a nickel this week to $3.68, while Oregon’s statewide average adds three cents to $4.22. That’s a much smaller jump than last week’s gain of 17 cents.” AAA Oregon Public Affairs Director Marie Dodds says, “Spot prices for gasoline in California are now barely above $3 a gallon compared to the $3.50 to $3.60 range earlier this month. The Pacific Northwest is the lone remaining hot spot with wholesale gas fetching about $3.39 a gallon, but that’s down from the more than $3.65 seen earlier this month.
