Factors Influencing Gas Prices

The sharp fluctuations in gas prices can be attributed to several ongoing factors. Firstly, the current weather report indicates a mix of clouds and sunshine with daytime temperatures climbing to 91°F and lows dropping to 72°F. Wind patterns forecast gusts from the SSW at 5 to 10 mph during the day and ENE in the evening. Alongside these conditions, a 50% chance of rain and possible thunderstorms late at night could potentially affect transportation and supply chains.

Moreover, it is important to note that refinery maintenance is currently limiting gas supplies, further impacting the stability of prices across the state. In addition, OPEC+ has announced plans to increase oil production starting in June, which may ultimately influence future pricing trends in the gasoline market.
