Pacific edition, Saturday, November 8, 2008
Guam bases will have the cheapest unleaded gasoline in the Pacific beginning Saturday, new pricing data released this week by the Army and Air Force Exchange Service showed.
AAFES said it’s retail price for a gallon of unleaded on the island will plummet to $2.68, down 52 cents from $3.20. Prices at base pumps in South Korea will dip another penny to $2.74 per gallon, after a 53-cent decrease at the beginning of the month, according to AAFES.
Meanwhile, AAFES’ unleaded gas prices at military installations in Japan and Okinawa remained stuck at summer highs of $4.06 per gallon and are not expected to change until at least next month.
The dive in costs at Guam and South Korea base pumps follows a downward spiral of gas prices in the United States and around the world that began with a global economic crisis in September.
The average stateside price of a gallon of regular decreased to $2.40 on Monday, down 51 cents since Oct. 20, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
