Gas prices continue to drop – though they remain high.

The average price of a gallon of gas in the U.S. is now $4.54 – down 32 cents over the last two weeks and down 55 cents over the last six weeks.

The price is still $1.32 higher than it was a year ago.

Experts say cheaper crude oil and wholesale prices are behind the drop.

Industry analyst Trilby Lundberg of the Lundberg Survey said that the continued decline comes as crude oil costs also fall.

“Further drops at the pump are likely as the wholesale gasoline price cuts continue making their way to street level,” Lundberg said in a statement.
