Trend Analysis:
As the “unofficial beginning of the summer driving season” begins, gas prices are mostly stable across the country. Today’s national average is $3.58, which is a penny cheaper than a week ago, seven cents cheaper than a month ago and a penny higher than a year ago.
According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gas demand rose from 8.87 million b/d to 9.31. Meanwhile, total domestic gasoline stocks decreased slightly from 227.8 to 226.8 million barrels, while gasoline production increased, averaging 10.0 million daily barrels. AAA will monitor gasoline demand in the coming weeks, as increased road trips could drive up prices at the pump.
