“The national average has declined for another week, extending the slide for the eleventh straight week,” said Patrick DeHaan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “Gas prices are now $1.20 per gallon lower than mid-June with Americans spending $450 million less on gasoline every day as a result. Some issues have developed that we’re keeping a close eye on, including the shut down of the largest refinery in the midwest. While that refinery may get back online sooner rather than later, it’s not impossible that down the road the situation could impact prices in the region. For the rest of the country, however, we’ll continue to see prices moderate. This is of course subject to hurricane season, and it does appear that the tropics are starting to see some activity, so there’s no guarantee the decline will continue.”
