“With July 4 now in the rear-view mirror, gasoline prices in many states have advanced following the an uptick in oil prices in late June,” said Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy.com. “While gas prices may rise slightly in some states in the week ahead, it will be a very mixed bag across the country as the recently rally in crude oil prices appears to have stalled for now. Call it the summer blues at the pump- prices may fluctuate mildly in the weeks ahead, but we’ll be bouncing near the summer low price for some time- don’t expect much improvement in prices from for the rest of the summer. In fact to counter that, if we see the Atlantic become more active hurricane wise, we could see more price support in both oil and gasoline prices, so keep that in mind.”
