Over a Barrel GasBuddy

The start to the summer driving season is upon us, and of course, just in time, gasoline prices are starting to rise- but what's around the corner for next week, and with a debt ceiling deal perhaps ahead, will it get even worse than expected? Join Matt and Patrick to find all the answers about what could change and how bad gas prices will get!

With the summer driving season just a week away, join Matt and Patrick as they discuss gasoline prices in the lead up to the big driving weekend, talk about how the debt ceiling could impact gas prices this summer, whether we'll hit $4/gal nationally, and some secret tips you may not know so you NEVER pay retail price for your gas!

Matt and Patrick recap the week: gasoline prices moving in different directions depending on where you are- big increases in some areas of the Great Lakes, with price relief coming to hard hit Arizona. We also delve into what "price cycling" is, and why some states see huge jumps in prices that don't always seem to correspond to fluctuation in oil prices.

On your weekly watch, Matt and Patrick recap current events, including the current outlook for gas prices, what the heck is going on in Arizona with some of the highest prices anywhere in the USA. Plus more on the big drop in diesel prices, which are about to finally fall under a $4 per gallon average, what's going on with refilling the SPR and why it's still being drained (again!), a post-mortem on Florida's fuel outages, and talk about the debt ceiling, interest rates, the Fed, and much more!

In this episode, Matt and Patrick go "Behind the Barrel" to speak with the show's first guest, GasBuddy's Chief Technology Officer Max Metral, about some of the inner working parts of the GasBuddy app and a conversation on the future of AI, how GasBuddy's hurricane tracker came together, and how rewarding it is to help build tools our users can use in times of emergencies.

On your weekly watch (NEW!) this week, Matt and Patrick recap the news this week, how it impacted gasoline prices, an announcement from a big oil company that just produced its first barrels at a new project, a possible pipeline expansion to help Arizona, and most importantly, who's about to get socked (and who did get socked) with higher gas prices this week. Coupled with Mr. Wonderful wanting to build a massive refinery? All the details on this week's update!
