INDIANAPOLIS — AAA says you can start to expect lower gas prices with the end of summer nearing.

They say prices this fall may drop by as much as 25 cents per gallon. That would make the average about $2.40. That's down 35 cents a gallon from July 4, when gas was $2.75.

Factors driving gas prices down include a decrease in demand after Labor Day and the shift to a winter blend gasoline in September, which is cheaper to produce.
