Gas prices continue to dip across the state.

According to Triple-A, Maine’s average price for a gallon of regular gas was $3.86 on Tuesday, down from $3.99 a week ago.

Last week, the state dipped below $4 a gallon for the first time since early March, but Maine’s current average is more than 70 cents higher than it was this time a year ago.

Mainers are still paying well over the national average at the gas pumps, which was $3.77 a gallon on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, diesel in Maine is going for $5.14 a gallon, down from a peak of $6.37 in May.
