Gasoline prices dropped for a sixth consecutive week to their lowest level in almost five years due to seasonal factors and cheaper oil. The national average was $2.81 per gallon, with only nine states above $3. California’s average fell to $4.25 per gallon. President Trump said US oil companies would invest billions in Venezuela’s oil sector.

Analysts predict Venezuela’s oil production could temporarily decline, but recovery and output increases could follow.
