DALLAS, TEXAS, July 11, 2024<\/strong> (PR Newswire<\/a>) \u2013 Gas prices are always a hot topic, whether as part of a neighborly conversation or on the global stage. As the campaign trail heats up ahead of the presidential election in November, gas prices\u2014and their role in the United States economy\u2014are expected to be a focal point.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To encourage informed discourse, GasBuddy\u00ae<\/sup>, a PDI Technologies company, has created a guide that addresses common questions and misconceptions about what factors contribute to gas prices. \u201cGet the Facts About Gas Prices<\/a>\u201d is available on the GasBuddy Blog and includes information on the role of the US president, local price disparities, seasonal price increases, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDue to many complex factors\u2014the Ukraine, energy prices, and the pandemic, among others\u2014consumers have seen higher volatility at the pump in recent years,\u201d said Patrick De Haan<\/a>, Head of Petroleum Analysis at GasBuddy. \u201cOur goal with this guide is to provide clear, accurate information to help educate the public about what factors influence gas prices at any given time, whether it is an election year or not.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
