But prices remain much higher than they were a year ago when the average price for a gallon of regular stood at $1.66.
AAA says prices remained steadier than usual in February when the season uptick usually starts – thanks to stable oil price. But AAA notes that as refinery maintenance season begins prices are likely to start rising soon.
The national average currently sits at $2.31.
