According to AAA, the recent decline in gas prices can be attributed to falling oil prices. However, there is a possibility that the trend might change in the near future.

Over the weekend, OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) agreed upon another round of oil production cuts, which could potentially impact gas prices in the coming weeks.
