Drivers are now paying almost $6 less to fill up at the pump compared to a month ago.

Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman, said this is due to the decline in crude oil prices.

“Crude oil prices continue to decline amid market concerns that crude demand will fall if economic growth slows or stalls due to a recession,” said Waiters.
