OKLAHOMA CITY – Good and bad news for drivers in Oklahoma City. Gas prices are lower than they were a month ago, but higher than they were this time last year.

The average price for a gallon of unleaded gas on Monday, Sept. 6, was $2.49 in Oklahoma City. That was 12.5 cents per gallon lower than a month ago, but 18.5 cents higher than the same day one year ago.

"With gasoline supply closing the summer driving season out at the highest levels since records began in 1990, there will be significant pressure for prices to fall, especially if hurricane season doesn't make a large impact on high supply numbers," says Patrick DeHaan, GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst.

DeHaan also said while hurricane season is something that could temporarily impact gasoline prices, any impact would be very short lived given the high supply and weak demand of gasoline.

The national average for a gallon of gas was $2.68.
