Nevada bucked the national trend as gasoline prices declined the past month despite the beginning of the summer driving blitz.

The average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gas statewide was $1.65 in June, down a nickel from May, the American Automobile Association reported Tuesday.

The AAA survey found that Carson City had the cheapest gas with an average of $1.61 a gallon, a drop of 2 cents; and Las Vegas had the biggest price decrease of 9 cents a gallon to $1.63. Reno was most expensive at $1.71 with the smallest decline -- a penny a gallon.
