Gas Prices Easing With Rumors BP's Whiting Refinery Back Online

Gas prices in Benton Harbor and St. Joseph are currently the highest in the region, with the lowest price standing at $2.74 today. South Haven drivers pay as little as $2.54, and just over the border in South Bend, a gallon of gas can be bought for $2.55. GasBuddy’s Patrick DeHaan notes prices have been falling in the last several days as the market believes BP has increased production at its refinery in Whiting, Indiana.

Listen:

The BP refinery had a major issue earlier this month that shot wholesale prices higher by over 90-cents a gallon, resulting in gas stations increasing the prices we pay to the $3 neighborhood. DeHaan has predicted gas prices will be under $2 per gallon this fall and winter if nothing goes wrong to disrupt the supply and the markets.
