AAA Southern New England reports Monday that self-serve, regular is now an average of $3.39 per gallon.

That's one cent below the national average.

Prices have been steadily dropping in recent weeks, but it's still well above the price of $2.82 at this time last year.

This week's prices are about where they were in early March.

AAA found that the price range for self-serve regular this week is from $3.22 a gallon to $3.65 a gallon.
