The national gas price average is $2.74, seven cents less than last week.
AAA spokesperson Stephanie Milani said pump prices are falling due to cheaper crude oil and healthy domestic supply keeping up with demand. She said the national average of poised to fall again this week-possibly to $2.70-an indication that prices this summer may not have reached the lowest level of the season.
