Gas prices are flat as demand for gasoline continues to slow down. That slower demand along with growing domestic stocks of gasoline, have contributed to pump prices dipping slightly. Gas demand is expected to spike for Labor Day travel, leading to a likely, but brief, price jump as drivers take to the nation’s roads one last time before fall arrives.
