“Timing is everything, and while supplies have tightened due to the slow recovery after Hurricane Ida, this is also the point when gas demand starts its seasonal decline,” said Lloyd Albert, Senior Vice President of Public and Government Affairs for AAA Northeast. “While there may be some price fluctuation, we expect most motorists to see stability at the pump.”
