BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) — The American Automobile Association reported that the national average price for a gallon of regular gas dropped a nickel since last week to $3.63.

The drop follows a drop in oil prices.

The motor club says that demand for gas has increased while supply decreased. According to AAA, this normally would cause prices to rise but fluctuating oil prices instead pushed them lower.
