How gas prices have changed in Auburn in the last week
Prices at the pump are still stuck in neutral this week as Americans return from July Fourth holiday travel plans. On average, prices were about the same as last week and only 5 cents above their levels from one month ago.
Drivers could see a more significant change, however, as Hurricane Beryl made landfall Monday morning, threatening oil and gas infrastructure along the southeast Texas coast. Already the storm has closed major oil and gas shipping ports as multiple counties in the Houston area have come under flood warning.
“For now, we’ll likely continue to see some fluctuations in either direction with the national average moving up, but as we approach August and the peak of hurricane season, there remains a risk that the national average could surge temporarily if we see a major storm in the wrong place,” GasBuddy analyst Patrick De Haan said in a statement Monday.
