WE ESCAPED THE HIT OF HURRICANE BERYL

Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy says just like last year the price of gas has remained in the mid-$3 range with small declines in some states and modest increases in other states as we wait for the next major trend. He says "Hurricane Beryl had no major impact on prices, but some drivers in Texas had trouble finding gasoline due to power outages, a situation that continues to improve. For now, we'll continue to see small price fluctuations as we await news of any hurricane-fueled refinery disruptions or other supply challenges as we head into the busiest weeks of the summer travel season."
