“For a fourth straight week, the national average price of gasoline has declined, as conditions remain ripe for some of the lowest seasonal gas prices in five years,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. He cited rising oil production in the United States, Canada, and OPEC+ nations, along with high refinery output, as factors continuing to pressure prices.
