Prices hold steady at the pump
Pandemic leaves America oversupplied puts refinery jobs in jeopardy
CAMARILLO, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) - The pandemic continues to affect prices at the gas pump.

Diesel fuel remained stable as well at around $2.52.
Analysts say coronavirus is keeping gas prices low. They say people are driving less, and using less fuel. That has the United States oversupplied.
Experts predict price cuts in September, because the majority of students won't go back to class. The gas industry relies heavily on morning school commutes to fuel demand.
The Survey says the gap in gas usage is causing refineries to shut down and layoff staff.
