• GasBuddy: “It was another relatively tame week at the pump, with the national average inching up for the second straight week as oil prices briefly touched the $70 per barrel mark before sliding late in the week on news that OPEC+ will raise oil production again in September. While price cycling led gas prices in some states to see double-digit increases or decreases, most saw only modest fluctuations. With OPEC+ now fully restoring production to 2023 levels — and fresh economic concerns arising from a weak jobs report and renewed tariff threats — oil prices may continue to face headwinds, potentially paving the way for a decline in gas prices in the weeks ahead.”
