IOWA-MISSOURI -- The outlook for gas prices this year has been released by the analysts at the website GasBuddy.com.

It is also predicted that significant volatility in gas prices will continue throughout this year. Especially April 1 through the middle of May, when refineries switch from winter to summer blends. From August 1 through mid-September during hurricane season, which has brought significant harm to rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. The winter gasoline phase-in from October 15 the November 15 could also include some volatility, but should see a lowering of prices.
