\"AAA\"Washington, D.C.<\/strong> – AAA says that at $3.04, the national gas price average only increased one penny leading up to Memorial Day weekend. The majority of states saw no change to pump prices or a decline on the week.<\/p>\n

However, prices may not stay stagnant for long. For the week ending May 21st, demand jumped to 9.4 million b\/d\u2014the highest reported number since early March 2020 and up nearly 30% over the same week last year, indicating motorists are filling up more frequently.<\/p>\n

With rising demand, crude oil price increases and decreasing supply levels, Gas prices are likely to fluctuate through all of June. (AAA)<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cGasoline supply and demand levels are looking more like typical summer numbers as demand has steadily jumped week-over-week since the end of April and supply declines. The increasing demand and decreasing supply combined with more expensive crude oil prices mean gas prices are likely to fluctuate throughout June,\u201d said Jeanette McGee, AAA spokesperson.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe could see some decreases early in the month and increases mid-month as the school year ends and summer travel increases,\u201d McGee stated.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s average is $1.05 more than last year at this time and 15 cents more expensive than last month. The May national gas price averaged $3.00\/gallon. That is just 11 cents more than the May 2018 and 2019 national averages. With a $3.00+\/gallon average at the start of June, this month could prove to be the most expensive average in years.<\/p>\n

Oil Market Dynamics<\/h3>\n

At the close of Friday\u2019s formal trading session, WTI decreased by 53 cents to settle at $66.32. Although prices ended the day down due to market liquidation at the end of the month, crude prices gained on the week after the Energy Information Administration\u2019s weekly report showed that total domestic crude inventories decreased by 1.7 million bbl to 484.3 million bbl.<\/p>\n

However, last week\u2019s price gains were limited by market concerns that increasing coronavirus infections around the world could reduce crude consumption this year. For this week, crude prices could climb further if EIA\u2019s next report shows another decline in crude stocks.<\/p>\n
