Filling up is a little less painful as prices at the pump continue to drop each day. Across the country, the average price for a gallon of gas has fallen for 76 straight days, the second-longest streak on record dating back to 2005. It was less than three months ago when the average price of a gallon of gas nationally was $5.02, the highest number on record. Today, that number is much lower: $3.84, as of August 31. According to AAA, and those who understand the oil industry, it will likely continue to drop.
