"Crude oil is calming down, even with lingering tensions in the Middle East. And as parts of the U.S. recover from recent hurricanes, fuel demand may subside for the next month or so," said Matthew Conde, AAA Idaho public affairs director. "Of course, any escalation of conflict between Iran and Israel could quickly disrupt the usual trend of lower oil and gas prices in the fall."
