Gas Prices Expected to Stay Within Current Range over the Summer

 
 

The price for a gallon of unleaded gasoline remains low. Prices have gone up slightly in the past few weeks. Gasbuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan says most stations raised prices to $2.45 a gallon.

Fortunately, according to GasBuddy.com’s Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan, those prices will keep falling.

“Exxon Mobile’s facility in Joliet, Ill., has come back online and that’s meant a lot of downward pressure on wholesale prices, which will then, in turn, mean a big drop at the pump here in the next week,” said DeHaan.
