PORTLAND (AP) — Maine residents are getting more relief at the pump, as gas prices have fallen another nickel per gallon.

Price-monitoring website GasBuddy.com reports Monday that the average cost of a gallon of gas in Maine has fallen 5 cents in the past week to $3.09.

In-state prices are now down more than 32 cents per gallon in the past month and are 33 cents lower per gallon than at the same time a year ago.

Despite the drop, prices in Maine remain about a dime per gallon more expensive than the national average.

The prices are based on a survey of more than 1,200 Maine gas stations.
