The average has fallen 51 cents per gallon since the Sept. 28 report.

“Average gasoline prices fell in nearly every state over the last week, while diesel declined in most, as refinery maintenance wraps up and seasonal demand continues to fade with the onset of cooler weather,” Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said in a news release along with the survey. “That combination has given gasoline and diesel prices some much-needed breathing room, and motorists are finally seeing relief at the pump. Oil fell nearly $2 in Sunday trading, with WTI at $102.15 per barrel and Brent at $111.52. However, volatility could return quickly after the election. Whether new attacks occur or a truce takes hold around the Strait of Hormuz, along with continued Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries, will likely dictate where prices head as we move closer to the holidays.”

The cheapest Ogden station was $3.86 per gallon while the most expensive was $4.85 per gallon, according to GasBuddy price reports.

Statewide, the average is down 12.4 cents to $4.49 per gallon, while nationally, the average is down 17.1 cents to $4.12 per gallon.

The national average price of diesel is down 5.9 cents to $6.281 per gallon.
