LOS ANGELES (CNN) -- Gasoline prices fell more than one cent a gallon at pumps across the U.S. during the last two weeks, according to the Lundberg survey of 10,000 gas stations taken June 13.
The overall price nationally for all grades of gasoline, sold both at full-service and self-serve pumps, was an average $127.06 a gallon. That's 1.23 cents lower than two weeks ago when the last survey was done on May 30.
The average price for the most popular type of gasoline, regular unleaded sold at self-serve pumps, was $121.82 cents a gallon, 1.27 cents lower than two weeks before.
Crude oil prices have fallen about $2 a barrel in the last two weeks. Gasoline prices have fallen more than a dime a gallon since last June. The price drop comes despite increased consumption during the summer travel season.
