Fuel Prices Slowly Move Lower

After weeks of increases, fuel prices across the Northwest and across the national have held steady, or in some cases decreased over the past week.  According to AAA, the national average for a gallon of diesel slipped roughly two cents to $2.97, Washington average dropped one cent to $3.29 a gallon, while Oregon’s price ticked down one cent as well to $3.20 a gallon.

Meanwhile gasoline prices across the Northwest are slowly moving down as well.

• $3.02 a gallon in the Tri-Cities
• $3.18 a gallon in Walla Walla
• $3.05 a gallon in Yakima
• $3.07 a gallon in Wenatchee
