This week crude oil prices also dropped back below $100 per barrel -- but a spokesperson for AAA said it will take time to notice a price drop at the pump.
If crude oil prices stay where they are -- gas prices could drop by as much as 20 cents per gallon. That would still be more than a dollar more than a year ago.
