Gasoline prices typically fall after Labor Day, but this year was a little different, said AAA spokeswoman Jana Tidwell.
"Refinery issues, unexpected shutdowns and pipeline problems didn't allow gas prices to fall as they typically do in the autumn months," Ms. Tidwell said. "Those problems have been corrected."
Other factors leading to gasoline prices falling are a decrease in demand after the summer driving season and a shift to a less expensive winter-blended fuel, Ms. Tidwell said. Summer fuel is more expensive because it's chemically balanced to sustain extreme heat so it doesn't evaporate, she said. Wholesale gasoline prices also have begun to drop, she said.
