Benson said the slight delay in the decline in gasoline prices, it is expected to drop to $3 per gallon in early September.

US Treasury Secretary Besant said in an interview on Thursday evening local time: "Gasoline prices are showing a slight delay in falling." "We are trying to put a little pressure on gasoline retailers. We are telling them that we are closely monitoring them," Besant said. He said, "In terms of what we are doing for consumers, we have received positive responses from some large retailers." Besant expressed hope that the average price of gasoline in the United States could drop to $3 per gallon by Labor Day, and he expects oil and energy prices to continue to fall.
