Rising Gas Prices May Plateau Soon
(NAFB.com) – After weeks of paying higher prices, those increases at the gas pump may be nearing a halt as refineries complete the transition from winter to summer gas blends. The changing fuel blends come with the changing seasons.

Triple A says the distinction between summer and winter fuel is how easily it evaporates based on the temperature.
