After topping $3 a gallon, average gas prices continued to plunge last week, falling to the lowest levels since Hurricane Katrina damaged Gulf Coast oil refineries.
"November is going to be somewhat of a weak month," Kloza says.
He predicts the price will bottom out between $2.10 and $2.35 a gallon nationwide, and is sticking to a prediction he made last week that gas could fall below $2 a gallon in some states.
The cheapest statewide average: Oklahoma's $2.14, according to travel club AAA.
Hawaii had the highest prices, averaging $3.01 a gallon.

$2.29 in southern Perry County, Indiana
I hope the Dems keep talking about $3 per gallon gas. Each time they say $3 gas, the consumer will think, "I just paid $2.48" and think they got a good deal compared to everyone else.
Continuing to talk about $3 gas will make $2 gas seem like a deal to the average Joe voter who hears the D's complaining about $3 gas.
When gas is $2, the D's need to complain about the high cost of $2 gas, not $3 gas.
Yep, and a cup of coffee at starbucks is at least $4.00. Does anybody ever bitch about paying a buck for a pint of WATER? How about cable tv? cell phone charges? condoms? bullets for my .357? lap dances? 12 year old whiskey? All of the "requirements of life"??????
But as others have remarked .. the law of supply and demand is working.
I have already. Thanks.
Does the tanker truck have wings on it?
$2.15 in Detroit. I-94 and Livernois. Don't go there after dark.
If there was an emergency need then yes, it would be flown in but it's barged in at breakup and just before freeze-over. There is only one gas station so it's a monopoly, you have to buy from the guy or barge your own stock in. Typical bush business.
Got below zero in Fairbanks first time today. So far like the winter of 75, where it was just 45 below by Thanksgiving.
Less costly raw product plus easier distribution plus higher production plus lower demand equals lower prices.
We've been below zero in the mornings for the last 6 or 7 days. It was -13 this morning when I walked in. It was -16 yesterday so we're warming up! :-)
I only got up here in '98 so I missed the winter of '75 but I remember the winter of 2000-01 when it was -71 in January.
We're spoiled. Winters just haven't been what they used to be. We hardly ever get 60 below for weeks at a time anymore.
Does it take about 2 gallons of gas to deliver 3 gallons of gas?
Or is it 3 gallons used by the airplane emergency method to deliver 2 gallons?
It's Bush's fault.
Dang Glow-bull warming.
I'm sure it cost quite a pretty penny to get resupplied in those areas.
A guy I work with buys his gas off the barge twice a year and he's paying about $3.50 a gallon so the gas station is adding a buck a gallon for public sale.
It is Bush's fault, but not entirely. The true Alaskan winters ended when Carter got most of Alaska declared a national park.
Good news for America.
Bad news for Democrats.
You BET! I'll take it our way any time.:)
RightWhale - Winters are not what they used to be because the earth has been gradually warming since the end of of the, "Little Ice Age" which ended about 400 years ago.
Yeah. Only 10 below expected tonight. Hardly worth firing up the woodstove since the Coleman jug of drinking water in the kitchen still isn't frozen.
