The price of gas is coming down. The statewide average for May was $3.91 according to the monthly survey by the Triple-A Motor Club, a decline of 18 cents from April. And the price is 28 cents cheaper than it was a year ago, making May the first month this year with a lower price than the year prior.
 
 
Beth Mosher of Triple-A says it’s unusual for the price of gas to be declining at this time of year, but it’s true – not because gas is cheap now, but because it was so expensive earlier in the spring.
