How North Dakota Gas Prices Have Changed This Past Week – 7/19/2024

STACKER — The typically busy summer driving season usually leads to higher demand for gasoline and therefore higher prices at the pump. But that hasn’t happened this summer, and analysts aren’t sure why.

“(Drivers) appear to be staying off the roads, and the recent scorching heat may be a contributing factor. It may pick up soon,” AAA spokesman Andrew Gross said in a statement Thursday, adding that prices could fall further.

Prices are a few cents above their levels a month ago, but a gallon of gasoline is still cheaper than it was this time last summer. The U.S. is producing a large amount of gasoline to bolster its domestic supply, another factor that could push prices lower. The total amount of gasoline in U.S. inventory is slightly above its five-year average, according to data from the Energy Information Administration.
