Even with an overnight increase in fuel prices, Tulsa now has the lowest average gasoline cost among the nation's major metro areas, according to a AAA report Wednesday morning.

Tulsa's average gasoline price now stands at $1.435. Oklahoma as a whole was slightly higher at $1.576, although it's also the lowest average among the 50 states. Missouri is now the second-lowest at $1.60.

Tumbling crude oil prices around the world have helped send the Oklahoma retail average price for gasoline to its lowest mark since January 2009. Today’s price is $1.07 below the 2015 high of $2.65 recorded on July 22 and marks the thirteenth consecutive day the state average has fallen.

National retail gas price averages have fallen for 64 of the past 75 days, for a total savings of 35 cents per gallon, reaching today’s average of $1.87 per gallon.
