Gasoline prices dip below $3
Still above $3 at local stations

AP and TRIBUNE REPORTS
NEW YORK — Soaring gasoline prices are in the rearview mirror.

For the first time in months, retail gasoline prices have fallen below $3 a gallon in places, including parts of Michigan, Missouri and Texas. And the relief is likely to spread thanks to a sharp decline in crude-oil prices.

The national average for regular unleaded gasoline is $3.51 per gallon, down from a high of $3.98 in early May. Last week's plunge in oil prices could push the average to $3.25 per gallon by November, analysts say.

On Sunday, the price of a gallon of regular in Seymour generally dropped to $3.39, down from $3.43.
