Prices at the pump Tuesday averaged $4.316 a gallon. That's about nine-tenths of a penny less than Monday, but about 81 cents a gallon more than a month ago, and $1.45 more than this time last year. To fill up a typical 15-gallon gas tank costs about $65. 

The modest drop follows a more noticeable decline in the price of oil, which fell below $100 a barrel Monday for the first time since March 1. West Texas Intermediate crude, the benchmark for US oil, hit a low of $99.76 before closing at $103.10 yesterday. On Tuesday morning WTI dipped even further to $93.53.
