GasBuddy's Patrick De Haan said refinery maintenance is wrapping up and seasonal demand is fading as the weather cools. He added that "volatility could return quickly after the election," depending on whether new attacks occur or a truce takes hold around the Strait of Hormuz. The AAA figures put Roanoke diesel at $6.16.
