Daytona Beach, FL-The price of a gallon of gas at the pump could be a real treat by the holidays if AAA’s forecast turns out to be right. The travel group is forecasting $2 for a gallon of self-serve regular unleaded by then.
“We may see a little volatility in gas prices as refineries conduct seasonal maintenance,” said Josh Carrasco, spokesman, AAA – The Auto Club Group. ” After Labor Day we normally see a drop in gasoline demand as we head out of the busy summer driving season. A decline in demand, refineries switching to winter-blend fuels and falling oil prices should cause a continued drop in price of gas. If there are no major supply disruptions, we could see some stations in the southeast selling $2 a gallon gas this fall.
The current price for that gallon of gas in the Daytona Beach area averages $2.36. A year ago that same gallon of gas set you back $3.34. The statewide average is $2.36.
