AAA says National Gas Price Average Cheaper on the Week, Month and Year
August 7, 2019
Tampa, FL – AAA reports that the average national gas price dropped by two cents to $2.71 on the week. This is less expensive than a week, a month (-4 cent) and a year (-15 cents) ago. Prices are cheaper as demand saw a small dip on the week, even though overall demand remains robust for the summer.
“While gas prices continue to drop, the rate at which they are decreasing has slowed,” said Jeanette Casselano, AAA spokesperson.

AAA says Going Against Usual Trends, Demand Drives Gas Prices Down Even Lower
July 7, 2019
Tampa, FL – For the week ending June 14th, 2019, U.S. gasoline demand hit its highest level at 9.93 million b/d. It is the highest level ever recorded since the Energy Information Administration (EIA) began publishing data in 1991.
Counterintuitively, as motorists drive demand to new heights, pump prices pushed even cheaper across the country on the week. This is due to the recent trend in cheaper crude pricing and because crude comprises roughly 60% of the costs people pay at the pump, drivers are seeing summer savings.

AAA says Pump Prices are Dropping Fast with Summer approaching
June 18, 2019
Tampa, FL – AAA reports that since Memorial Day the national average dropped six cents on the week, following a consistent downward trend.
The decline is unusual for this time of year. Pump prices usually trickle higher during the summer months due to increased demand. However, the latest Energy Information Administration (EIA) report reveals that total domestic gasoline inventories jumped a million bbl last week, helping to push pump prices lower.
