WASHINGTON —
The survey covers the period ended Nov. 16 and is based on information obtained from about 2,500 stations by the Camarillo, Calif., company. The average is up 9.21 cents from a year earlier.
Gasoline is 49 cents below the year-to-date high of $3.9671 on April 6.
‘‘The decline is big enough to be a help to consumers in a shaky economy,’’ Trilby Lundberg, president of the Lundberg Survey.
