"Biden's Gasoline Reserve Sale Unlikely to Significantly Lower Summer Prices"

The Biden administration's sale of 1 million barrels of gasoline from the Northeast Gasoline Supply Reserve is unlikely to significantly impact summer pump prices, according to analysts. The sale, aimed at mitigating regional price surges, represents only a small fraction of U.S. consumption. While gas prices have been trending lower due to softened demand and decreased oil prices, the outlook remains uncertain with an active hurricane season potentially disrupting supply.

"Surging Gas Prices: Will the Trend Continue?"

Gas prices have surged to a four-month high due to increased demand and challenges faced by refineries, with the switch from winter to summer gasoline blends adding further costs. The national average for regular gasoline is currently at $3.39 per gallon, and while prices typically peak in June and July before falling, ongoing refinery outages and global supply issues could lead to continued price increases. Energy analyst Phil Flynn warned that if crude oil surpasses $80 a barrel, it could further elevate gasoline prices during the summer driving season.
