Oil analyst talks gas prices, summer travel
GasBuddy head of petroleum analysis Patrick De Haan discusses national average gas prices being a dollar below what they were last year.
Sheetz stores celebrated Independence Day by lowering the price of gas in honor of the year the Declaration of Independence was signed. By charging just $1.776 a gallon for nearly all their gasoline blends, the gas station hopes to help customers "keep a little more change in their wallets" as they celebrate the Fourth of July holiday.
The mid-Atlantic gas and convenience chain lowered fuel on regular, E85 (flex fuel), unleaded 88, mid-grade and premium fuel grades. It did not apply to diesel fuel.

The limited-time promotion will only last for the Fourth of July beginning at 12:01 a.m. at more than 675 Sheetz locations in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia.
