Gas prices have plummeted over the past month, providing relief to consumers who have spent nearly $60 billion more on fuel due to the Iran war’s impact.
The national average for a gallon of gas was $3.86 Monday, according to motor club AAA, down 53 cents from one month ago when gas was $4.39 a gallon. Monday’s figures mark the sixth straight week of falling gas prices, a trend driven by developments in the Middle East and the Iran war.
