United States: Multiple regional outlets reported gasoline price declines this week as national averages fell; GasBuddy recorded a national average of $3.78 per gallon on Monday. Local figures included Natrona County at $3.81, Central Ohio at $3.80, Montana at $3.97, Green Bay at $3.70, and Tennessee at $3.38 this week.
These drops followed market stabilization and eased geopolitical tensions, with diesel prices also declining to about $4.88 per gallon.
