(Undated) – The national average price for gas remains high despite the recent forecasted drop. According to GasBuddy Head of Petroleum Analysis, Patrick DeHann, gas prices have been stuck in limbo and remains near 2021 highs. DeHann says the damage done by Hurricane Ida combined with gasoline demand remaining relatively high for the season, is what’s keeping the prices elevated. As a result, we may have to wait a couple more weeks until hurricane season slows for oil inventories to start to rise and gas prices to fall. The current national average is hovering around $3.19 a gallon. It’s $3.32 in Illinois and $3.18 in Indiana.
