Why Summer Gas Prices Are at a Four-Year Low
- As of Tuesday, the U.S. national average gas price was $3.21 per gallon amid summer travel preparations and stable oil supply.
- This price level follows increased oil production by OPEC+ and eased Middle East tensions after a ceasefire between Iran and Israel.
- Analysts noted the recent spike in gas prices resulted from temporary geopolitical fears and that most shocks, including hurricanes and outages, are short-lived.
- Patrick De Haan forecasted that by September, the average cost of gasoline could drop below $3 per gallon and noted that when accounting for inflation, current fuel costs are among the lowest seen in two decades.
- Despite a July 1 state excise tax increase in California, abundant oil supply and regulatory shifts suggest pump prices will remain stable or decline slowly this summer.
