La. gasoline prices unchanged last week

Louisiana gas prices are unchanged in the past week, averaging $1.85 per gallon Sunday, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 2,436 stations. Gas prices in Louisiana are 0.9 cents per gallon higher than a month ago and stand 47.2 cents per gallon lower than a year ago.
According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Louisiana is priced at $1.59 while the most expensive is $2.89, a difference of $1.30. The lowest price in the state is $1.59 while the highest is $2.89, a difference of $1.30.
The national average price of gasoline is unchanged in the last week, averaging $2.17 Sunday.
“Impressively and for a fifth straight week, average gas prices have remained quiet, with prices fluctuating less than a a few cents per gallon over the last month," said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddyLa. While it’s been a bit of a bore, it’s certainly still to motorists advantage as prices remain at their lowest seasonally in well over a decade.
"Gasoline demand looks to be trending higher, but just barely, which could eventually end the stable gas prices. For now, heading into the last few weeks of summer, I don’t think we’ll see the national average eclipse $2.25 per gallon."
making plans for Labor Day, that will mean just about everyone is in the $2 per gallon range, with the exception of California and Hawaii. It won’t be a bad time if you’re choosing to hit the road, as over a dozen states still have average gas prices under $2 per gallon.”
