UPS AND DOWNS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SUMMER
Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy says there's a mixed bag of prices across the nation this summer.
"With the summer winding down and GasBuddy data showing disappointing gasoline demand and struggling oil prices, we could eventually see the national average falling a bit more, especially once the refinery in Illinois restarts operations. While hurricane season hasn't been a factor yet, it's also just starting to get into its prime, and that does remain a quiet wildcard for now."
