The aftermath of Hurricane Sandy hasn't affected gas prices on the East coast or around the country. In fact, they have dropped compared to the week before, which is welcomed news as many East coasters deal with long lines at the pump. The national gasoline average is 7 cents above the price this time last year and about 13 cents below last week's price. Premium gasoline is now averaging $3.81. Diesel fuel is about 12 cents above this time last year.
