SOME GOOD NEWS FOR THE FUTURE
Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy says the west coast continues to face challenges that stand in the way of lower prices. He says Oregon and Washington are seeing some of the largest increases due to "regional infrastructure issues." He says the transition to cheaper winter gasoline starts Tuesday and that he expects average gas prices will continue to decline "in the weeks ahead in most states- assuming hurricane season remains quiet.”
