“After an impressive run that saw the national average begin to approach its springtime high, it appears prices have plateaued- at least for now,” said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. “Oil prices appear to be taking a breather, but with the peak of hurricane season approaching, an continued upward trajectory in gasoline prices is certainly possible, should we see a major storm take aim for the Gulf.  Crude inventories have also declined four consecutive weeks, and large decreases in crude inventories in the near future may be cause for rising oil prices as well,” DeHaan said.

GasBuddy operates HonoluluGasPrices.com and over 250 similar websites that track gasoline prices at over 140,000 gasoline stations in the United States and Canada. In addition, GasBuddy offers a free smartphone app which has been downloaded over 25 million times to help motorists find the lowest gasoline prices in their area.

  1. IIRC the cost in making the car/solar panel involves more energy consumed over the product’s lifetime when compared to regular internal combustion engines.

    I just commute by bicycle most days though.
