On a national level, the average gas price currently sits at $3.07 after a decrease of 1.8 cents over the past week. This represents a 5.2-cent drop from the previous month and a notable 32.8-cent decline from the same period last year, as per GasBuddy’s data.
“Average gas prices declined in nearly all states over the last week as refineries ramped up output and gasoline supplies surged,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “While a few states experienced price cycling — a pattern where prices drop sharply and then spike every couple of weeks — the overall gentle downward trend is typical as summer progresses. If oil prices continue to rise gradually, it could eventually impact gas prices, but for now, we likely won’t see any major shifts at the pump in most areas this week.”
