“Gas prices are moving lower, even as the price of oil remains near 2023 highs,” AAA spokesman Mark Jenkins said in a news release. “Now that the summer driving season is over, gasoline demand has declined, but gasoline production is stronger than a year ago. Gasoline futures logged a second consecutive 18-cent drop, which should signal another round of falling prices at the pump this week.”
