U.S. Gas Prices Edge Higher for Second Week Amid Oil Market Shifts
National gas prices rose for the second consecutive week, reaching $3.14 per gallon, up 1.3 cents from a month ago but 32.8 cents lower than a year ago, according to U.S. EIA and GasBuddy data.
The increase follows a brief spike in oil prices to $70 per barrel before a decline, as OPEC+ announced plans to fully restore production to 2023 levels in September. While some states experienced double-digit swings due to price cycling, most saw only modest changes, with the Gulf Coast being the only region to record a drop.
Regional averages range from $2.73 in the Gulf Coast to $4.02 on the West Coast. Mississippi holds the lowest state average at $2.71, followed closely by Oklahoma ($2.73) and Texas ($2.76), while economic concerns and potential trade tensions could put downward pressure on prices in the weeks ahead.

Canadian Auto Sales Show Resilience in July 2025 Despite Trade Headwinds
In July 2025, Canadian light vehicle sales reached an estimated 172,000 units, up 6.9% from July 2024, marking the strongest July since 2019 despite trade uncertainty from U.S. tariffs. While the year-over-year gain was aided by a weak 2024 comparison, an extra selling day, and sales from pre-tariff inventory, the results still reflected notable resilience. The seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) was 1.89 million, slightly below Q1 levels but steady with Q2 — which DAC’s Andrew King called an achievement given current economic challenges.
