The CNMI continues to see a downward trend in fuel prices with gas nearing the $4 mark.<\/p>\n

Fuel on Saipan is currently at the lowest it\u2019s been all year thanks to local oil companies dropping its prices by another 15 cents.<\/p>\n

As of yesterday, Mobil Oil Marianas dropped its fuel prices by 15 cents with a gallon of its Extra fuel now at $5.26 per gallon from $5.41. Mobil also reduced its Supreme fuel from $5.86 per gallon to $5.71 per gallon, while Diesel dropped by 20 cents from $6.68 per gallon to $6.48.<\/p>\n

Shell Marianas is expected to drop its fuel prices today.<\/p>\n

The CNMI has seen a consistent downward trend in fuel prices for the last three months.<\/p>\n

Starting in the first week of July, the CNMI saw a series of rollbacks with fuel dropping from $6.56 per gallon of regular fuel from the beginning of the month, to now at $5.26.<\/p>\n

The first rollback was seen on July 4, with local oil companies reducing their prices by 15 cents from $6.56 to $6.41.<\/p>\n

Then, just 24 hours later, in the early hours of July 7, the CNMI saw the largest rollback by far when oil companies dropped their prices by 25 cents from $6.41 to $6.16.<\/p>\n

The third rollback of July was seen last July 14, with fuel prices dropping to $6.01.<\/p>\n

The fourth rollback was seen last July 20 with fuel dropping another 15 cents from $6.01 to $5.86.<\/p>\n

Then, just six days later, on July 26 the last rollback for the month of July brought fuel down from $5.86 to $5.71.<\/p>\n

The next rollback was seen around the first week of August when fuel went from $5.71 to $5.61.<\/p>\n

Then, in the first week of September, gas dropped again by another 20 cents bringing fuel down from $5.61 to $5.41.<\/p>\n

According to a 29-year-old local motorist, he\u2019s elated with the recent gas rollbacks.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember in the beginning of the year, filling my car up took nearly $100. Now, I just filled my tank up with $70. That\u2019s an extra $30 or so I can use towards food for the next two weeks. I know these rollbacks seemed small, but it really adds up in the long run. I hope it continues,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
