In Washington, DC, the national average for a gallon of regular gasoline has decreased by one cent from last week, reaching $3.16. This marks the lowest seasonal gas prices since the summer of 2021. Additionally, a low-pressure system off the Gulf Coast is being monitored as it moves westward. Although the potential for strengthening is low, tropical activity during this time of year can impact gas prices if refineries are damaged or if local flooding affects gasoline distribution or demand.
The national average cost per kilowatt hour at public electric vehicle charging stations remained unchanged at 36 cents over the past week.
