How gas prices have changed in Kentucky in the last week

When drivers fill up this week they’ll be saving an average $15 for every 10 gallons compared with the historically high gas prices of a year ago.

That’s according to AAA, which said this week that low oil prices and a decline in demand are keeping the average price of gas from spiking for Americans.

“Drivers will find pump prices that are flat or drifting slightly lower for now,” AAA spokesperson Andrew Gross said in a statement Thursday.

A gallon of gas was $3.58 on average, according to AAA gas price data. Stacker compiled statistics on gas prices in Kentucky. Gas prices are as of June 16.

Fears of a recession fueled by signals from the Federal Reserve that it will continue to hike interest rates have kept oil prices lower. This week, Arizona is seeing the largest decline in prices at the pump with a $0.14 drop, on average.
