WASHINGTON, DC –&nbsp;Drivers are getting a bit of relief at the pump as the national average went down by 6 cents since last week to $4.03.&nbsp;Crude oil prices have come down below $100/barrel,&nbsp;helping drive down the cost of&nbsp;gasoline for consumers.&nbsp;

But how long the downward trend will last is uncertain with&nbsp;continued instability along the Strait of Hormuz. Currently, pump prices are&nbsp;the highest&nbsp;they’ve&nbsp;been during this time of year since 2022, when the national average on April 23 was $4.11.&nbsp;

According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gasoline demand decreased last week from 9.08 million b/d to 9.05 million.

Total domestic gasoline supply decreased from 232.9 million barrels to 228.4 million. Gasoline production increased last week, averaging 10.1 million barrels per day.&nbsp;
