(The Center Square) — According to data from the American Automobile Association, Mississippi has the nation's lowest average price for a gallon of regular gasoline at just under $2.99 per gallon. Mississippi's average is 16.44% less than the national average of $3.58 per gallon and nearly 40% less than the price in the Magnolia State ($4.17) a year ago.  One reason for lower prices is slacking demand, according to GasBuddy energy analyst Patrick DeHaan.  BREAKING: According to GasBuddy data, total Memorial weekend gasoline demand between last Thursday and Tuesday (yesterday) in the US was down 1.
