Nationally, GasBuddy reports gasoline prices fell 5.5 cents over the last week to an average of $4.24 per gallon.
That's
23 cents lower than a month ago, but $1.26 higher than a year ago.
The national average price of diesel also rose 5.2 cents to $6.30 per gallon.

However, he says prices could rise again in some states as tensions in the Middle East continue to affect oil markets.
