Kentucky gas prices fall

Gasoline prices in Kentucky declined 9.1 cents per gallon over the past week to an average of $3.64 per gallon to start the week, according to gasoline price website KentuckyGasPrices.com .

That price was 22.6 lower than a month ago but 37.7 cents per gallon higher than a year ago, according to the website. In Northern Kentucky reported prices ranged from $3.57 per gallon to $3.76 per gallon. The average gas price in Cincinnati rang up at $3.73 per gallon at the start of the week.

The national average price for a gallon of self service regular stood at $3.79 -- 15 cents per gallon more than in Kentucky.

"In the last few years, we've typically seen a seasonal downward trend at the gas pump as the cooler temperatures invade," Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy.com, said in a release. "We just haven't seen any sort of real decline at the pump yet this autumn.”

DeHaan said “the small drop in gasoline prices isn't to the satisfaction of many, and I don't see enough relief to satisfy the majority of American motorists any time soon."
