Gasoline Prices Fall as Summer Driving Season Winds Down

U.S. average gasoline prices fell week over week on Friday, at $3.42 per gallon—the cheapest Friday since March, according to Gas Buddy's Patrick De Haan. 

Gasoline prices in the United States are 2.2 cents per gallon lower this Friday than last, De Haan said in a Friday tweet, adding that U.S. gasoline prices could fall even further over the weekend. 

The news follows the Energy Information Administration's (EIA) Wednesday Weekly Petroleum Status Report, which showed a decrease in gasoline inventories in the United States to 222.2 million barrels. It was a fall of 2.9 million barrels for the week, although inventories are still 2.8% higher than a week ago, the EIA report showed, but 3% below the five-year average for this time of year.

Refinery utilization was up for the week by 1 percentage point to 91.5%, with production falling to 9.7 million bpd. While utilization was up overall in the Unitd States on the week, it fell in the East Cost and Midwest regions. 

According to AAA, prices for a regular gallon of gasoline averaged $3.433 per gallon on Friday, down from $3.454 a week ago and down from $3.873 a year ago. Prices averaged $4.603 per gallon in pricey California and $2.965 per gallon in Mississippi.

It's unclear whether the falling prices are part of the season trend that sees relief at the pump as we exit driving season.

"Summer is wrapping up soon, and so far, gas prices have barely wobbled," Andrew Gross, AAA Spokesperson said earlier this week. "But we still have a long way to go with hurricane season, so it's too soon to declare that pump prices have started on their usual Autumn swoon."

    Product continues to flood into the USA of every type right now current refined product diesel, gasoline, heating oil, propane, natural gas, methanol, "farm diesel" , ethanol all having to compete with battery electrics now as General Motors working with Pilot/FlyingJ deploys a direct competitor with Tesla the first anywhere on Earth whilst we also wait for Rivian and Ford to do the same. Big temperature plunge en route to the Eastern Seaboard USA as well...the World's largest consumer of energy product on Earth stretching from Miami Florida to Portland Maine thus making this the largest market for fuel and fueling infrastructure on Earth as well so expecting very low prices on or about $3.00 US Dollars per American as opposed to Imperial Gallons along that route and falling even lower from that as this becomes *"BEV Highway #2"* to compete with USA West Coast for energy solutions. Not sure if there is any demand for fuel besides natural gas along USA West Coast at the moment actually. Maybe for select Airlines (United, Alaska Air) and Railroads ($unp Union Pacific Railroad.)
