Here’s how gasoline prices in Oregon have changed in the last week

Gasoline prices remained relatively stable last week. In Florida, prices even dropped slightly, despite Hurricane Debby making landfall last week. The hurricane caused only minor damage in the state.

One factor keeping gasoline prices low in recent weeks, experts say, has been lower oil prices. They have fallen on fears that the U.S. could be heading for a recession. Those fears may be easing as new economic data shows a recovery in American retail sales.

“Hurricane season still has a long way to go,” AAA spokesman Andrew Gross said in a statement Thursday, “so it’s too early to say that gas pump prices have begun their usual fall slump.”
