prices dropping slowly for price weary customers

Commuters who have

been facing weekly sticker shock at the gas pump are

breathing a little easier this week.

Gas prices

have stabilized, and in some cases come down, over the

last week according to AAA's March 28 Fuel Gauge Report.

"OPEC

oil producers have approved a deal to raise output

limits, however, they have not released details of their

agreement," said Yoli Buss, director of AAA traffic

safety. "Most analysts have said it will take from

four to six weeks for prices to react to OPEC's

decision."

Results of

AAA's survey indicate self-serve unleaded dropped a penny

a gallon to an average price of $1.42 a gallon. Some

stations in Fayette and Coweta counties are currently

selling unleaded for under $1.40 a gallon.

Last year,

unleaded was selling for an average of 83 cents a gallon.

At the beginning of this March, unleaded was selling for

$1.38 a gallon.
