“Gasoline prices nationally have continued their typical seasonal trajectory lower,\u201d said Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy.com. “Gasoline inventories have continued to show impressive gains lately, limiting the effects of rising oil prices on gasoline prices for the time being. While the majority of states (37) saw average gasoline prices decline, thirteen saw prices advancing, especially in the Great Lakes- thanks to the region’s price cycling mechanisms. Gasoline prices should continue to remain relatively low during the next week, but Wednesday’s weekly report from the Energy Information Administration will be a major key to understand when the bulk of refinery season has begun and what impact that will have on gasoline inventories.”<\/p>\n
