"Despite the threat of war and a hurricane season that is still percolating, domestic gasoline prices are edging lower," said Andrew Gross, an AAA national public relations manager. "There are now 18 states east of the Rockies with averages below $3 a gallon. And OPEC+ is saying, at least for now, they will increase production starting Dec. 1, putting even more downward pressure on pump prices."
