“The price of a barrel of crude oil has been in the 70s most days this year but is now hovering right at 70 dollars or even dipping into the high 60s,” said Mary Maguire, AAA Northeast’s Vice President of Public and Government Affairs. “This means the price at the pump is significantly lower than a year ago and is one reason AAA is projecting a record-breaking year for Fourth of July travel.” 
 
AAA Northeast’s June 26 survey of fuel prices found the current national average to be the same as last week ($3.57), averaging $3.57 a gallon. Today’s national average price is the same as a month ago ($3.57), and is $1.33 cents lower than this day last year ($4.90).
