"Gas prices continue moving lower as COVID-related state lockdowns keep Americans off the road, leading to lower demand for gasoline," said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA - The Auto Club Group. "Nationwide, implied demand for gasoline has fallen nearly 60%. With fewer drivers on the road, refiners are reducing output. Crude oil prices sank to new lows last week, amid continued uncertainty of when conditions will return to normal. Meanwhile, wholesale gasoline prices remain at lows that could allow the state average to eventually sink to the $1.50s."
