“Pump prices have continued to recede across much of the country, although decreases have been small so far,” said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. “The national average peaked in the closing days of April and has moved down a few cents per gallon, and we’ll likely continue to see prices dropping as we approach Memorial Day. California continues to see the largest decreases thanks to increasing supply and falling wholesale prices. On the other hand, Oregon and Washington may see slight increases in prices as supply remains tight. The national average by Memorial Day will be between 5-10 cents per gallon lower than today, which would represent a nice decrease over where gasoline prices were on Memorial Day 2013,” DeHaan said.
