Colorado gas prices drop 33 cents in a week: Here's what's behind the decline

Colorado’s average gasoline price fell 33 cents in a week to $3.83 per gallon, according to AAA, leaving drivers paying about $9 less to fill a tank than at the late-October peak. AAA attributes the decline to crude oil prices dropping about 11%, lower seasonal fuel demand and refineries switching to cheaper winter blends. The national average stood at $3.98 per gallon.
