Gas prices could fall anywhere from 20 to 50 cents a gallon over the next two weeks, according to the news release.
Prices rose by more than 60 cents within days of an announcement that the Whiting refinery was partially shut down for repair work.
The cost for a gallon of gas is expected to decrease further through the fall and winter, especially as refineries switch to the cheaper winter blend.
