全美平均油价跌破每加仑4美元：AAA周报称一周下跌近20美分至3.90美元，为7月以来首次
美国汽车协会（AAA）11月12日发布的每周油价报告显示，全美普通汽油平均价格在过去一周下跌近20美分，降至每加仑3.90美元，自今年7月以来首次回到4美元以下。本周稍早，全国日平均价已先在11月10日降至3.98美元，结束了连续113天处于4美元或以上的高位区间，这一时长为有记录以来第二长。
AAA分析，油价回落主要来自三方面：原油价格走低、加油站改售生产成本更低的冬季混合汽油、秋季出行需求转淡。美国能源信息署（EIA）数据显示，汽油需求由每日880万桶降至876万桶；西德克萨斯中质原油11月11日收涨49美分，报每桶86.53美元。公共充电桩电价本周保持不变，为每千瓦时42美分。
对开车出行的人来说，这一跌幅出现在感恩节出行高峰之前，多少能减轻一些油费负担。不过AAA也提醒，尽管价格回落，今年11月迄今仍是有记录以来最贵的11月，去年同期全国平均价只有3.08美元。（来源：美国汽车协会）
AAA: National Average Gas Price Drops Below $4 for the First Time Since July, Falling Nearly 20 Cents in a Week to $3.90
The national average price for a gallon of regular gasoline fell nearly 20 cents in the past week to $3.90, dropping below $4 for the first time since July, AAA said in its weekly fuel report released November 12. The daily national average had first slipped under $4 on November 10, at $3.98, ending a 113-day stretch at or above $4 that was the second longest on record.
AAA attributed the decline to lower crude oil prices, stations switching to cheaper-to-produce winter-blend gasoline, and softer autumn demand. Data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration showed gasoline demand easing to 8.76 million barrels per day from 8.80 million, while West Texas Intermediate crude rose 49 cents to settle at $86.53 a barrel on November 11. The national average cost of electricity at a public EV charging station held steady at 42 cents per kilowatt hour.
The drop comes just ahead of the busy Thanksgiving travel period, offering drivers some relief at the pump. AAA cautioned, however, that even after the decline, this month remains the most expensive November on record for gasoline; a year ago the national average was $3.08. (Source: AAA)
