It’s been a mostly quiet week for the national average price of gasoline, with most states seeing gas prices cool off.

Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said while most states are likely to continue seeing gasoline prices fall in the week ahead, any new refinery issues as others begin maintenance could be problematic.

“Overall, the largest issues impacting gas prices remain refinery disruptions, but also the price of oil, which has held around $90 per barrel as Saudi Arabia and Russia maintain significant production cuts,” De Haan said.
