AUGUSTA (AP) — Gas prices in Maine dropped slightly in the past week, but remain well above the national average.
Price-monitoring website MaineGasPrices.com reports Monday that the average retail price in the state fell by just over a penny to $3.58.
Nationally, the price remained unchanged, at $3.43 per gallon.
Prices in Maine are now nearly 11 cents lower per gallon than a month ago, yet remain more than 18 cents higher than a year ago.
A company analyst predicts that prices will fluctuate up and down between now and Christmas.

Not much
Rests on two facts - prices fell this week but are higher than last year. Doesn't mean much.
I just completed a trip through Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York and Pennsylvania. Never saw a price near the national average of $3.43. Lowest was $3.49 in Vermont. New York was consistently around $3.75. Pennsylvania consistently around $3.65. Maine and New Hampshire consistently around $3.55. Highest $3.87. Some comment on regional/state prices and why they vary between and within the states would have been usefull.
