How gas prices have changed in Colorado in the last week

Gas prices are staying low compared to the same time last year, thanks to lower demand and a growing domestic inventory.

"Gasoline demand has trailed 2023 for most of this year, and analysts believe economic uncertainty may suppress demand this summer," AAA spokesperson Andrew Gross said in a statement Thursday.

The national supply of gasoline grew by more than 3 million barrels at the start of June, surprising investors and signaling that summer travel demand may look different this year compared to prior ones. States including California, Nevada, Alaska, and Illinois saw the largest drops in average prices at the pump—roughly by 10 cents each from the week prior, per AAA data.
