Tap title to read story
United States — Gasoline prices fell across multiple U.S. metros this week as retailers adjusted pump prices following recent market moves. In Columbus on Sunday, GasBuddy reported averages of $3.89 per gallon after a 27.5-cent weekly drop; Monday reports showed Campbell County, Wyoming, at $4.06 and Natrona County averages near $3.98.
The declines coincided with market reactions to a U.S.-Iran framework deal and short-term price cycling: West Texas Intermediate crude traded near $75 per barrel this week. National averages fell roughly 9–14 cents in recent reports, diesel dropped about 19.2 cents, and local surveys cited state lows and highs with further updates expected in the next weekly reports.
