Should this eventually be confirmed, prices could fall through at least Labor Day in the Midwest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the flip side, motorists in the Northeast should now be on alert after a major fire struck a PBF refinery in Delaware City on Friday,\u201d DeHaan added. \u201cThe market hasn&#8217;t really had a chance to react, but it could turn ugly at the pump in the days ahead for motorists in that region.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, the West Coast saw prices decline, along with the Gulf Coast, East Coast and Rockies &#8212; virtually everyone saw gasoline prices fall in the last week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we enter the final stretch of the summer driving season, autumn still looks to bring a big drop in gasoline prices,\u201d DeHaan noted. \u201cCrude oil last week touched under $40 a barrel for the first time since the recession, and this week could bring prices that stay under that key level.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For a complete listing of current averages and other fuel price data, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/media.gasbuddy.com\/\">http:\/\/media.gasbuddy.com<\/a>.
