Gas prices inched down in Colorado this past week keeping the state’s pump prices among the cheapest in the nation, according to fuel price site GasBuddy’s weekly survey.
The average price for a gallon of unleaded in Colorado dropped 0.8 cents to $1.54, the 10th least expensive in the nation. Denver metro’s average ticked down 1.1 cents to $1.50 per gallon.
Oklahoma has the lowest average, with $1.44 per gallon. Hawaii’s average is the highest, at $2.55 per gallon, according to GasBuddy data.

Production cuts at Midwest refineries during the past week caused some prices in that region to spike by nearly 25 cents, GasBuddy officials said Monday.
