“The national average has started a nice downward trend, even as motorists were hitting the road for July 4,” said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. “Yes, gas prices were some of the highest July 4 prices we’ve seen since 2008, they drifted downward in many communities as the holiday approached. Over the last week, the national average has fallen almost 4c/gal- a trend that could continue with an absence of hurricanes or disruptions from Iraq. Gas prices over the next few weeks could fall more than 10c/gal should the aforementioned situations remain quiet, which is most welcome as the peak of the summer driving season comes into focus,” 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.
