Gas prices have been on a downward trend nationwide, with the average price per gallon now 50 cents lower than it was a year ago.

This dip could continue as refineries transition to producing the cheaper winter blend of gasoline in mid-September, which typically reduces prices by another 15 to 30 cents per gallon, according to GasBuddy.
