In Washington, D.C., the national average for gas prices has decreased by three cents to $3.15 amid a reduction in demand between spring and summer travel seasons. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC+) announced plans to increase oil output in June, potentially expanding the supply surplus and leading to further declines in crude prices. This development could result in lower costs for road travelers during the summer months. Currently, the national average is 49 cents lower than it was at this time last year.
Meanwhile, electricity rates for public electric vehicle charging stations have remained steady over the past week, with an average cost of 36 cents per kilowatt hour.
