Area Gas Prices Continue To Tumble

As the Christmas travel season approaches, drivers are on the receiving end of some good news relative to gas prices.

According to Gasbuddy.com, the average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gas (self-serve) in New Hampshire is hovering around $3.32.

The good news is that price is 7 cents lower than last week and 19 cents less than a month ago. The bad news is, New Hampshire drivers are still paying roughly 9 cents higher than the national average and we're still 11 cents higher than the price of gas in December 2011.

In Merrimack, prices range slightly under the average, from $3.26 to $3.40 on the high end of the spectrum.

In Merrimack, some of the lowest prices are:

• $3.26 EZ Stop Gas 715 Daniel Webster Highway.
• $3.28 D and W Auto Center 455 Daniel Webster Highway
• $3.28 Galaxy XPress, 557 Daniel Webster Highway
