AAA: Gas prices fell 8 cents last week

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Oregonians may be feeling a little less pain at the pump.

A report released by AAA Tuesday says that the average price of regular unleaded gas in the state has dropped eight cents in the last week to $3.64 per gallon.

The report says Portland and Eugene-Springfield have the state's lowest prices, at about $3.59 per gallon.

Prices in the Medford-Ashland area are state's highest, averaging $3.73 per gallon.

AAA spokeswoman Marie Dodds says pump prices may continue to fall since the summer driving season has ended and the hurricane season is nearly over.

But she also says the weakened U.S. dollar could send prices back up in the coming weeks.
