The national average price for regular gasoline has decreased by five cents this week, settling at $3.15 per gallon. This decline is largely attributed to the start of the fall season and the transition to a less expensive winter-blend fuel.
Regional price trends include a downward shift in the Pacific Northwest following the resolution of a pipeline issue. The ongoing Atlantic hurricane season remains a watchpoint, as any significant storm activity in the Gulf could impact refinery operations and lead to price volatility.
