Patrick DeHaan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy, said the national average price of gasoline has fallen for the third straight week.

“Most states saw notable declines, while California and the Great Lakes states saw the largest dips,” DeHaan said. “Solidly in the rear view are California’s previous refinery issues that caused prices to soar, but now a new problem- filling up with the cheaper gasoline as power outages have cut access to hundreds of stations across the state. GasBuddy has again activated its emergency tracker for California, and this event is unlikely to impact gas prices, so long as refineries don’t lose power.

“Across the rest of the country, the Great Lakes states saw prices fall far faster than wholesale prices, and a correction is likely in the region. With that exception, the nation should see a fourth straight week of decline with over three-quarters of stations passing along lower prices in the coming week.”
