GasBuddy says relief in average gas prices has been delayed by an active hurricane season which has prevented gas prices from their normal seasonal decline. They say they are still optimistic that we will eventually see a decline in price, but the drop is not likely to be as noticeable due to the above-average hurricane season and demand for gas remains strong.
