Gas prices at the pump have barely budged in the past week, according to an Energy Information Administration report released Monday. The national average price for regular gasoline clocked in at $3.665 per gallon in the latest report, down $0.003 from a week ago and $0.008 below the same time last year. Across regions, however, price movements went both ways. While East Coast residents enjoyed a $0.018 drop, Midwesterners saw the average price rise $0.015 over the past week. While gas prices fell less than a cent, diesel prices dipped $0.014 per gallon over the past week to $3.934 per gallon on average. Despite the drop, this latest price tag still puts diesel $0.044 per gallon above the same time last year. Diesel prices dropped across every region in the most recent week. Midwesterners enjoyed the largest, $0.020 drop, while West Coast prices declined just $0.011. At these latest prices, the West Coast pays the prettiest penny for gasoline ($4.015), while the East Coast doles out the most for diesel ($4.027). On the other side of the spending spectrum, the Rocky Mountain Region can guzzle gas for just $3.505 as the Gulf Coast grabs diesel for $3.791 per gallon. ALSO READ: America’s Hottest Selling Cars
