According to AAA:
"Falling by three cents since last week, the national average for a gallon of gas is back to the June price level. Summer is wrapping up soon, and so far, gas prices have barely wobbled. Concerns over Hurricane Debby are over now that the storm has passed, however, we still have a long way to go with hurricane season, so it is too soon to declare that pump prices have started their usual Autumn swoon. This morning, oil prices remain low – between $76 and $79 per barrel. The latest data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) shows that gas demand edged slightly higher while production decreased slightly. Tepid gasoline demand and stable oil costs may cause pump prices to slide further down.
When it comes to EV charging, the national and state averages for L2 commercial electricity remain the same as a week ago. Today’s national average for a kilowatt of electricity at an L2 commercial charging station is 34 cents. An estimated 1.2 million AAA members live in households with one or more electric vehicles.
For drivers who use diesel fuel, the national average price for diesel is $3.73, down two cents from last Monday. The New York average is $4.17, down one cent from last Monday."
