The AAA national average gas price fell -2.9 cents to $3.166 last week. This is up 0.6 cents from a month ago but -40.8 cents lower than a year ago.

• While fuel prices are expected to remain on the lower side compared to last summer, weather is the wild card. The Atlantic hurricane season begins Sunday, and NOAA predicts a 60% chance of an above-normal season. Storms along the Gulf Coast can affect oil refineries and disrupt fuel deliveries, leading to a temporary increase in gas prices.
