WILL PRICES BE IMPACTED BY THE WEATHER?

Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy says hurricane season remains active, with Hurricane Milton now heading toward a likely landfall in Florida. "As a result of potential evacuations, GasBuddy's Fuel Availability tracker will remain online for areas likely to be affected by Milton. For now, motorists in most areas can expect to see more increases in gas prices primarily due to tensions in the Middle East, but I remain hopeful that a $2.99 national average remains possible this fall."
