“As air temperatures trend downward as we progress into fall, gasoline prices have seen another week of their own seasonal fall. The national average is on the cusp of falling to the lowest level since March, something that could happen this week,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “Demand for gasoline continues to weaken as we get closer to winter, as there isn’t as much desire to get out. Coupled with cheaper winter gasoline and refinery issues that have faded to the rearview, gasoline prices have been weakening even as oil prices have climbed. For now, that trend will likely mean further declines in the weeks ahead, before prices bottom out sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas.”
