Though prices slightly dropped in some parts of the state, AAA Spokesperson Nick Chabarria suggested ways to save gas as prices may fluctuate due to crude oil prices increasing.
“Some Arkansas drivers are seeing minimal relief when they fill up this week,” said Chabarria. “The best way to conserve fuel is to drive the speed limit, avoid hard accelerations and maintain healthy tires.”
