How gas prices have changed in Alabama in the last week

Gasoline prices around the country are more or less stagnant over the past week as high supply and lower demand for gas are keeping any fluctuations in oil prices from pushing up prices at the pump.

Freezing weather this week caused refinery output to slow in some regions of the country, which could push prices up slightly in the coming days for drivers in the Gulf Coast, West Coast, and Midwest states.

Florida, Delaware, and Tennessee saw the largest increases in gas prices while drivers in Utah, Idaho, and Kentucky saw the most significant decreases.
