Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, noted that while the national average has seen only a minor decline, some states experienced sharper price increases due to “price cycling”—a phenomenon where retail gas prices fluctuate in short intervals regardless of wholesale price stability.
“While I don’t expect major movement in the national average as we approach August, states impacted by price cycling will likely continue to experience more volatile price swings, while others will see relative stability,” De Haan said.
